 |

| 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 |

Welcome to the forum!
Hopefully one of the Pirateers guys can get you an answer soon!
Love to see some photos of your boat!
Again, Welcome!

Welcome ! If you didn't find one yet you can get an original manual at the main page of the site (chryslersailors.com) under Documentation. I had a quick look and it mentions foam flotation, but didn't see anything regarding 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?

| 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? |

I'm selling my Pirateer, boat, trailer and sails are all in good shape, let me know if you're interested at all.
