Unfortunatley, I am not in a place where a spray booth or equipment will be available. I do plan on flipping it however, and putting it up on sawhorses to fix some cosmetic blemishes then paint it, likely with roller and tip off brush. My question is thus, for people who have done this. Without motor, mast, boom, centerboard, rudder etc, (ie empty boat), how many people does it take to flip the boat over, and are there any tricks to this? I know people have keeled the boat onto it's side using the mast as a long lever, but that is not my question. Another way to ask the same question, is how much does the boat weigh without the mast, boom, rudder, centerboard etc.?
