<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Gang,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As some of you may recall, I have moaned in the
past about being a little dissapointed at my A30's ability to carry sail in a
blow. I am in the process of crunching numbers to determine the benefit
of adding lead ballast beneath my liner pan under the cabin sole.
Anybody else gone down this road?</FONT></DIV>
