Pirateer Sailing (ballast)
Pirateer Sailing (ballast)
I am in the final throws of readying a Pirateer for my first sail. I understand this boat uses water ballast. How do I do this? how much water? how low should the boat sit etc and any further advice on this subject would be appreciated

Water ballast?
I just bought a Pirateer, like yesterday. IN trying to figure out the rigging, I came across this forum, awesome is the web right? This is the first I've heard of water ballast for the Pirateer, how would you go about doing it?

You can buy mine, good shape!
I'm selling my Pirateer, boat, trailer and sails are all in good shape, let me know if you're interested at all.Dave at QSC wrote:This is the first I've heard of waterballast too, I got a pirateer late this summer (2012) and am fixing it up. Can anyone recomend a sailmaker for this boat?
