Salt VS fresh

[Dhanny25]

It is roughly a 20% difference between fresh and salt water. Assuming you aren't changing anything else, I would drop from 19 lbs. to 16 lbs.

This is the computation I heard as well. Should be safe numbers.

So your saying he needs to take off .475 of a pound?

Yeah! Somebody else that can think!

And the winner is...15 lbs.

Thanks for your feedback.

Bzzzztttt!! Actually it WAS originally called Duck Tape, as it was made from durable Duck Cloth. It was developed for the military in WWII to waterproof ammo boxes, repair boots, etc. HVAC applications came post-war.

You are right....75 years ago. Today "Duck" is the brand name of one of several duct tapes. It is not waterproof, of course, so wouldn't work to hold the ship together, and gaffer's tape would be worse.

That's why I perfer EB green.
