Hull weight

Featured Replies

Could someone weigh a bare DF95 hull for me ?  I know the all up weight from the class rules. 

Thanks,   Richard

Back again !!!!!

Please could I ask if anyone has the weight of a DF65 shell.  I can easily deduct servo weights and rudder,  if someone could spare a few moments to weigh their ready to race DF65 hull only.

Much appreciated;     Richard

Hi Richard,

Here's a 65 @348g. I don't have a bare 95 but mine weighs 754g. The winch, servo, receiver & rudder are approx. 140g. of that.20230315_105933.thumb.jpg.dde08b301aab95c073d918d18bef8194.jpg

Many thanks Jim,

The DF65 is not far off the weight I am looking for. The 95 is quite heavy.

Will place a wanted for an old DF65 hull; even a broken one would do.

For info; I have acquired an RG65 hull now;  weighs 100grm less than the DF65. Perfect for centre hull of Mini40.

Thanks for all replies. Thought I would close this topic and say what I ended up with as the main hull of my next Trimaran.

An IOM hull shell !  Much lighter than the DF and, due to it's normal displacement being greater, will actually float higher with a shorter WL.  There are DF95's already sailing as trimarans and this could be a great way into sailing these boats. Just need floats, cross beam tubes and a deeper foiled rudder. Then throw away the keel and ballast (only joking)
