Weight Schedules

Does anyone know of a good source of information for preparing weight estimates - ie generic data like the mass of a toilet, basin, stove, sinks, cabling etc etc etc

The phone book... and sometimes you just pluck them from the sky... and add ten percent. They always get heavier

Some of what you need might be in the "Boat Data Book" by Ian Nicolson

Defintetly Paul is right: Boat Data Book.
Also, if you have a look at Larsson, there's a detailed weight schedule as you say. You can always use a surface relationship to work out your own boat.

>> What is Larsson????

Sorry, I mean: "Principles of Yacht Design", by Lars Larsson and Rolf E Eliasson. It's a yacht design book that takes you through the whole design of a 40 footer. It explain everthing, from parametric study to scantling calculations. It also includes all the necessary drawings/plans to understand it. Here in the UK it costs about 30 pounds; it's worth.
