This exercise is frightening, for any boat builder. Well done

Yes, I'd already partially worked out in my head how I was going to repair it if it went wrong. But I've turned a lot of yachts like this, big steel yachts I've constructed.

That was a smooth experience. Congrats. Cheer.

It did go smoothly! For most of the construction up to that point, I was going to take it outside to roll it over but my similar method of turning over big steel yachts came in handy! Thanks for the comment.

my guess was the hull weighed about 300 kg and 128+179=307!

Congratulations! You boat experience seems to have given you very good perception! I should/will calculate the weight of the support structure and temporary plywood frames and see if I'm on target for the approx 300kgs for the hull, decks, cockpit and cabin fully glassed.

@@KarlFullerNZ yes I will be curious to see how much it weighs when it's finished

Yes, I'll be interested too as I'm going through a bit more glass than I calculated. I certainly think I could be building it lighter, the construction method gives the impression it's stronger than I expected but that's peace of mind, I don't want to end up making my first Coastguard rescue call half way to Great Barrier Island....
