Use this light water in your ballast tank and you will be all set.

Facts about the display of the Mac in the video, floatation test. That is just what it looks like, a test! I was there. No one knew just how it would look flooded ( well, Roger did from his computer sim). He said it woul float just exactly where it floated, with those bodies on it. The ballast tank was full. The mid-section floatation is still in reserve ( not yet under water ). This boat is very safe even when flooded. Don't worry about your supplies being too heavy, plenty of reserve.

Louis, my boat is at the Legend Point Marina, on the "island". I hope to take it out in the next few days, after the 25mph winds subside a littl. Hope to see you.LOUIS B HOLUB wrote:Thread Subject: I for one hope the Mac wont sink, since that's one of the safety reasons Im comfortable with the Mac. In addition, my extra PFDs, and the cushions are aboard when sailing with the thoughts of further flotation protection. The factory video shows the flooded Mac afloat without an engine, so I figure all the cushions, and extra PFDs should compensate for the engine.
