My thinking on this subject is along these lines - Here is a barge. To get it to windward it must have a lot of power and therefore a lot of...
What do you mean by "the weight would be higher " ? Okay, the whole lot now weighs more, but would the CoG now also be higher ? Sand is not as...
How can a layer of sand in the bottom of a hull make it top-heavy ?
