[Rhodes22-list] Extra ballast

[truegrit77 at gmail.com]

Thanks everyone for your responses. I've sailed her with the extra ballast and she handled well. I think I'll pull it all out and see what the difference is. Just seemed like an awful lot of extra lead to place forward. 

I agree with you Rummy and in fact one very large piece had slid forward under the v-berth. The other problem is that a lot of bilge water was sitting forward and the bilge pump wouldn't pump it out.

If it's heroin he could order a new boat from GB today.

Leo,

Are you sure that's lead and not heroin?   Looks like someone was trying to 
hide a lot of something on  board...

ballast stuffed under the  second battery and in a hatch in the head. I've 
attached a few pictures. Has  anyone seen this before and is there any reason I 
should leave it  there?
