I guess its a tube. I was told it used to be a spar on an old Americas cup boat. its surprisingly light.<br />
<br />
I think you are right that the sides pieces are less than 10 kg. My central platform is also built a bit bigger than per plan. It holds fuel tank, double gas burner + tank, pots and pans etc.<br />

wow ... carbon mast sound good. Is it a tube or a real mast?<br />
<br />
I rebuilt my platforms as they were rotten. I built a bigger engine box to take a fuel tank and lower my Honda 5 long shaft to prevent cavitation. My platforms are made from 6mm ply laminated to 12mm in places. I can lift my central platform easily and suspect it weighs perhaps 20kg. The sides are less than 10kg.<br />

Ian: Yes the engines is too big. I would prefer a 5hp. But this on came with t boat when I bought it. Its not 90 though. I would guess its around 50kg.<br />
<br />
About weight: I think the hulls are more than 90kg. My tiki is build pretty much per plan, but I think wharrams numbers (both weight and building time) are a little low. I have built a hitia 17, and the hulls certainly turned out heavyer than in the plans.<br />

The beams on tiki are not heavy. I would guess around 15 kg. The rudders; very light, 2-3 kg<br />
The part that weighs the most, apart from hulls and motor, are the central platform, - perhaps 30-40kg, and then 5-10kg for each of the side platform pieces.<br />
<br />
My mast is very light carbon fiber. It weighs less than sail and rigging.<br />

Thanks for the numbers, Éric. If each of the beam weights around 40 kg, platform (18 kg) + plain mast (18 kg) + rudders (14 kg) + beams (130 kg) + hulls (180 kg) make up boat total weight (360 kg). If this is correct the beams are pretty heavy indeed.

One marine plywood sheet, 6mm, is 12 kg. you need around one and half for the platform. My wooden mast, 25 cm longer then the plans, before epoxy coating, paint, blocks and cleats was 18 kg. Rudder I don't know, but my guess would be around 7 kg each. Beams, no idea, except that they are too heavy!

I have wondered, as each of the hulls weights 90 kg and the total weight of the boat is 360 kg, where does the second half of the weight come from (360 kg - 2 * 90 kg = 180 kg)? Approximately, how much do the rig, the beams, the platform and the rudders weight each?

I think the netting is most useful when considering offshore passages as wave slap up hard on the underside of platforms. Not so much an advantage for inshore / lakes etc. and quite convenient with camping. The weight of my platform is not significant.<br />
<br />
My observation is that you have a big engine on there. The Honda 8 is over 90KG. I'm running a Honda 5 which weighs 27KG. Full throttle my Tiki 21 will do 6knt fully loaded with the 5HP engine.<br />

Nice video!
