Hi. All,

I have just cast the keel weights for varmint,I turned the former on the lathe to be as close as possible to the drawing, one weight after cleaning up weighs 500 grams, as much as the two should weigh, so, is 500 grams the correct weight for this size of boat or mine at 1 kg?

Many thanks for any help you can give me.

Eddie.

Hi. again, my last problem seems to have drawn a blank! but after trawling through the internet (sorry about that) I finally found the weight for the alloy bulb for the DF65 is about 550 grams. I have solved my problem by using one of my lead weights bonded to one of the wooden patterns, the wood being on top of the lead weight and the wooden half is bonded to the keel, this combination gives me the correct weight of 495 grams I hope this might be of help to others if you get the same problem.
