March 8, 20233 yr Could someone weigh a bare DF95 hull for me ? I know the all up weight from the class rules. Thanks, Richard
March 14, 20233 yr Author 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
March 15, 20233 yr 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. Edited March 15, 20233 yr by Jim La Roche
March 15, 20233 yr Author 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. Richard
March 24, 20233 yr Author For info; I have acquired an RG65 hull now; weighs 100grm less than the DF65. Perfect for centre hull of Mini40. Richard
July 16, 20232 yr Author 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)
