ID:	1200956 she is up under full load with her S/S FITTED an boy is that heavy as it made her sit down in the water another half an inch but lookin at the real ship its about right where she is floating an i give her about 7to 8 out of 10 for stability but she may lean in a high wind up the pond as its all open an the wind can get very strong but overall im pleased with her an now only one major question hangs over her an thats will she sail ok ? an just as well i fitted the 4 steel heavy counter balance wheights
