Topic: Displacement ?

The Contessa 26 has a displacement of 5400 lbs.

Does anyone know if that is the weight of a fully loaded boat (normal displacement) or the light displacement (just the boat empty with no people, gear, or stores aboard)?

Thanks

I have never measured to be sure, but I would suspect it would make sense for it to be the light displacement.

Re: Displacement ?

It is the "design" displacement, as the hull sits on its design water line, with no stores, no water, no fuel, no booze.
