    Closing the Thread

    The discussion in this thread is ended. Thanks to all for your suggestions and help in understanding the intricacies of water ballast, although it looks at present that it isn't needed.

    For those who are interested I have continued the development of the boat design in the original thread at http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/boat-design/kempenfelt-12-1-2-a-42130.html
