    For fastening I made a total estimation and put the weight to the allready found main center of gravity.
    For the paint I use the total square area to know the gallons needed, then put this weight in the same manner as the feastening.
    I use paint which dry by oxydation, so the weight remain the same when dry (-5%)
    The 15% soaking weight is put at the center of gravity of the planking and keel.
    In case I use several gallons of coal tar under the waterline, I made a separate weight for that and put it on the center of gravity of the lower planking.

    Peter, I was reading a Croatian boating magazine and saw this news about an event which happened in Elba, Italy (see the attacment).
    That gozzo boat looked so familiar... ;) Is it the one built by you?
    Cheers
