The frame is 1.88 m wide and 1.68 m long. Measures were taken about in the center of each corner casting. Width has been measured on the rear bar.

Should you need to compute the momentum needed to right the boat, I have also weigthed relevant pieces:
Code:
Piece           Weight/Kg   Pounds
Starboard hull       28.1   61.95
Port hull            32     70.55
Mast total (2 pcs)   13.7   30.20
Jib, forestay, etc    4.3    9.48
Floating baloon       1.1    2.43
Main (dry) and Boom   8.4   18.52


For the same reason you might need to know that the baricenter of the mast is at 3.12 m from its base.

Please post pictures and results of your work if it works well.

Thanks,
Fabio
