MaineSail's 36 I think he said was 16000.
She's kind of a pig, 9600 pounds on the front straps and 9300 on the rear straps or approx 18,900 pounds. This scale had recently been "calibrated" but they are still never 100% accurate.
No Spar or Boom
No Sails
No Standing rigging
No Furler
No Running Rigging
No Fuel
No Water
Empty holding tank
No cushions
No gear
No dodger
No bimini
No solar panel
No pots & pans etc...
Just an empty boat!! Rigged and ready to go she weighs in closer to 20k..
A C-36 that was launched two hours later (I used to own one) weighed in at approx 4000 pounds less (same scale) but had gear and boom and sails etc. on-board but I don't know about fuel & water...
Would I have taken my Catalina 36 around the world.? No..... Would I have taken it to the Caribbean? Sure..
Would I take my CS-36T around the world? Construction wise, absolutely. Comfort wise, perhaps, but I'd like something a bit more roomy. Course she's already been
almost around the world, without me.
For me, an O'day 34, nope, not without some
serious modifications......
