    Hello everybody,
    Does anyone know a database where I can find estimated equipments, rig and machinery weight, in order to do a preliminary weight and CG study before getting into the detailed specs of the boat.

    Thanks

    Sorry, What I meant was a database listing all parts WEIGHT.
    weight of engine, weight of mast, weight of sail.

    I know that I will find it on each manufacturers website, but what I want to know is if there is a list of average weight per engine size, per mast size, per sails size etc... in order to do a quicker preliminary weight analisis.
    Thanks

    YS,

    Sounds like that approach would create more problems than it would solve.

    But then again, I might be wrong.

    SailDesign Old Phart! Stay upwind..

    Time was, the best place for this was the printed catalogues put out by such folks as West Marine and Defender. Maybe their websites are as good?

    I sometimes use Westmarine's web site (though I still prefer the chunky catalogue..). Be aware though that the weights quoted are shipping weights, so include packaging. Generally I use them as is, for preliminary work (coz everything always winds up heavier...!)
