Fore/Aft weight balance vs. sailing performance.

[Be Free]

I found one of myself with Admiral actually under sail, so real world conditions.
Looks OK to me.
What do you guys think?

I don't think you could improve on that fore/aft balance. Everything looks perfect!

If that is your normal sailing configuration then you are golden! Nothing to fix.

My boat is aft heavy. Never looks that ballanced.

2x 12 gallon fuel tanks. Suzuki DF70 is a bit heavy. Add people in the cockpit and she sits low in the aft.

I do store my 2 x 5 gal fresh water tanks in the v-berth. On my boat more weight up front helps balance all that weight in the aft.

In the end, I don't care. I'm not in it for performance or I would have bought a different boat.
