Thanks all, The boat is not sailing on her lines and I think she needs to. Invariably, we have three in the cockpit weighing down the after end of the boat without adding weight forward. She needs to be kept on her lines to work to weather. I think any way you do it as long as you sail her on her lines. Going down wind I think you can afford to have more weight aft.
If I spread out 800 lbs. of lead forward of the holding tank is there an inherent problem taxing or burdening the structure or integrety of the hull? This is what I estimate is necessary to balance the boat with the crew in normal position, on her lines, then. Dave Hoy WYANOKEE #6295 Camden, Maine
