Re: gross tonnage
1988 52C, Per my CG Documentation:
Gross Tonnage 51
Net Tonnage 41
I have no idea how the numbers are calculated or if they have any relationship to actual weight.

Re: gross tonnage
Curiosity got the better of me.....
Gross Tonnage as it relates to Documentation is a function of volume, not weight. Brett

Re: gross tonnage
That is a lot of help when the lift operator wants to know what the thing ways. Do you tell him you got to sink it first. Sorry Scott it just struck me funny as to why Hatteras would post that or why the coast guard would want it instead of the actual weight of the thing.

Re: gross tonnage
Not related to weight:

Historically, it is used to determine how much cargo a vessel can carry for shipping taxes, registration, and port fees.

Re: gross tonnage
Like Dan said , gross tonnage had to do with how much wine a ship could carry.
