    want to build a scale model of an open60 length approx 1.60 m, master the calcutation of the volume displacement, the upright center of buyancy
    defenition of the Center of gravity is an issue for me because no idea about weight caclulation of the original:confused:
    any guidance, is it possible to retrieve this info with a reasonable accuracy ?

    The last time I built an RC boat I was 14. Since then it looks like the science has come a long way. Take a look at this guy's book on line. He may have some of the answers to your design questions.
