What you need to do is get the centre of gravity as low as possible,in other words the lower in the boat the weight the better,thats why lots of boats mine included have most of the ballest in the keel,but i have a few lead weights in the bilges to help as i sail alone mostly.but some boats are more lively than others,its in the hull design.
