Weight calculation table

I'm looking for a basic weight calculation table. My projekt is a 20 ton Alu sloop, 53ft. Helpful will be a similar table or literature as well.
Any answer will be greatly appreciated.

A weight estimate is a pretty simple calculation to set up. I have a variety of codes and spreadsheets for them (My main spreadsheet gives heave, heel and trim results too). You should be able to come up with a spreadsheet in an hour (with combined hydrostatics).

Are you struggling, or trying to avoid doing work at this point?

Thanks for the answers.
The problem is not to find the estimate weight (LCG).
I’m searching for a collection of specific weights from accessories and
materials used in boat building.

Ah, then look in "The Boat Data Book" by Ian Nicolson. or manufacturers or suppliers catalogues.
