I think you will have to figure the weights out for yourself. This is not a beginner boat.

EDIT:: Maybe it was on the website when it was still up and running. I found mention that the hull, empty and dry was supposed to be 1200 kilo displacement. I don't however think that is very heavy at all, and I don't know if that was with ballast or not. I hope that helps.

EDIT2:: Here is a how to for figuring ballast. http://www.ehow.com/how_5697769_calc...placement.html

EDIT3:: Oh yeah, and here is a nice little thread you may be interested in. How do I calculate the weight needed to ballast a centerboard?

Did you see Colin's K800?

How about asking the question directly to mr. Albert Nazarov: http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/profile/alik.html

Oh, He seemed innundated with repeated questions on the same topic, requests to have the plans in English, Swahili, and ten other languages sent to personal emails, and doesn't want to talk to anyone who is not actually building the boat.

After reading thousands of posts requesting plans in languages other than Russian be sent to thousands of different email addresses I can understand his reluctance to talk about the boat to anyone with an email address.

Albert is a nice and competent guy. But also busy...
How about this: You calculate the design volume of the canoe body.
Next you calculate the weight of the physical boat.
The difference in weight goes into the keel ballast
When you have this number, you can calculate stability (righting momentum) and take a look if this then is sufficient.

Weight of ballast keel for this boat is about 350kg. BUT it should be adjusted after weighting actual hull once built - overweight will require correction. There is space for internal ballast; also there is a drawing of bulbkeel that I have sent to few people on request...

Now is 13 years after this design is completed, and I still support real builders BUT unfortunately have no time for those who are just dreaming, who wants to scale the hull, 'build it in ferroconcrete', etc. Regarding 'drawings in English' - there are some files in English, say specification of structure. That's it.
