Weight of Seadog 30

I am currently negotiating the purchase of an early Seadog (No.43) and for lifting and transport purposes could do with knowing the actual weight of the boat. Please could anyone advise me in kg if possible.
Kindest regards,
Rob. Hayes.

Hi,

We're number 46, so a similar vintage. The registered tonnage is "5 and 98/100ths tons" - or so it says roughly carved on a wooden board in our forepeak - and that'll be old-style proper imperial tons to you, not those new-fangled metric tonnes (apply your own conversion factor if you can find one).

In practise however, laden up with water, fuel and assorted junk, our travel lift guys tell us that we're something like 7.5 tonnes, although I can't to be honest remember the precise number; heavy aren't they?!

Hope that this is enough to help.

There are two major variables, hulls on older 'dogs tend to be heavier, and junk on board, including fuel and water.
I would work on the basis of hull, masts sails 7,100 kg
junk, fuel and water 500 kg

Maximum likely to be 7,600 kg
