[Alberg30] Ballast / trim

I've noticed Sorceress floats bow up, but I always figured that was to
accomodate real chain under the vee berths.  I have yet to do anything about
it, but I've been thinking that a PVC hawse pipe to lead the chain to a box
under the cabin sole would do the trick.  Ideas / suggestions?

As far as sailing, I have a full battened main, and new 150% and working
jib, from North Sails.  I think the battens help hold the sail's shape in
light air and she scoots right along in light air (that's ALOT of canvas)
I've found that the Alberg will stand up to being over powered better than
most boats, but she'll slow down drastically and depowering actually speeds
her up.  I usually fly a 120 and main.
