The weight pro square meters is as follows:

Hull > 1m x 1m x 2760kg*m^3 x 10mm = 2760 kg*m^2
Keel > 1m x 1m x 2760kg*m^3 x 20mm = 5520 kg*m^2
Sup > 1m x 1m x 2760kg*m^3 x 7mm = 1932 kg*m^2

This means that the estimated weights are besed on the following thickness for a gamma aluminum = 2760 kg*m^3

Hull > 10 mm
Keel > 20 mm
Sup > 7 mm

OK?
