I guess I'm not sure what you mean by tender. I was told that the A30 was tender at first but then stiffend up when heeled a bit. Now, I've only sailed for two years, and I admit the first year I didn't know what the word "reef" meant. I sailed in some real "fun" conditions with the rail under for minutes at a time. I even got the combing wet one time. I don't remember thinking I was going over. So, I consider the A30 a stiff boat, even though she likes to heel at first. By the way, I've learned what the word "reef" means and it does make for any easier ride, if not as fun.

I am in the process of crunching numbers to determine the benefit of adding lead ballast beneath my liner pan under the cabin sole.
