Re: Adding Ballast

Thanks for the replies, I do have easy access to the deepest part of the bilges so this would probably be to my benefit. I think I shall get a good few sand bags and just try it. I have heard that adding to much ballast can have adverse effects on the stability, as in, if she is a very "stiff" boat then as soon as she starts to roll there is a higher chance she will go over. Anyone heard this before?
