I think I have built a tank

Picked up the modified 18 foot Guillemot hull after joining the top and the bottom and weighed it. 53 pounds with bulkheads and hatches. 6 ounce cloth inside/out, hull and deck with double layers at keel and on the bottom. All I can say is, it is not fragile, but I may need to start lifting weights again to heave this behemoth onto and off of the carrier. One good note though...once in the water, it won't matter much at all!
