<:( Hi all just a quick post got the boat in the water today all went pair shape listing 25 deg to port i have a 1.5 lb sinker weight im putting into the bow will be collecting a box of tyre stick on weights monday so all should be aok as soon a i get the ballast sorted i didnt realise that the upper decking on this boat was so heavy im not supprised that they turn turtle at the drop of a hat best regards.
Netleyned:
Mine has a SLA battery and another kilo of ballast,
No top portion of the wheelhouse, no lattice mast and the crane and dinghy
removed and she is steady as a rock.
Have you removed the water ballast tank?
Looks like you still have the slots in the hull
if you are using the ballast tank make sure the vents
are open to the air or it won't fill.
Nice paint job :-))
