LOL....I thought it was 8 track tapes stuffed in all the forward lockers.
My memory must be faulty.

TF,
Wasn't it bags of cement? I do remember whose boat it was and that the
boat
was salvaged after the hurricane and ended up in the marina at the Potomac
bridge on hwy 301.

Har! This reminds of a story involving a certain I/B C27 and a Nationals
competition
some years back...I think in this case it was concrete mix or something,
but it
was not particularly fast....to say the least.
Best off leaving the water in the reservoir!
best,

I agree 100% with Keith, and even if you are not racing all you are
doing with extra weight is pushing the boat further down into the
water and therefore plowing more water and essentially slowing the
boat down by making it and the sails work harder.

If you are racing, then adding weight just to improve balance is
slow,
and crew discomfort (being forward and probably outboard)is part
of the
package.
