OK, took a few minutes today during lunch to weigh up the individual hull sections as they are right now. Other than the mast step, glass and paint, there really isn't much that will add significant weight at this point. So these numbers are probably pretty close to what she'll end up weighing.
Fore section - 19.5 kgs (~ 43 lbs)
Mid section - 21.5 kgs (~ 47.5 lbs)
Aft section - 19 kgs (~ 41.5 lbs)
TOTAL 60 kgs (~ 132.5 lbs)
That's not too bad, is it? Considering what's left (sail, rigging, ama, hollow beam iakos, etc) I would guess loosely that I'll easily tack on another 40 kgs. That would put the completed Shan Skailyn at around 100kgs (~ 220 lbs). But that's just guessing there.
