Default RE: Aquacraft Paradise - modifications

What did the extra ballast do to the floatation? Is there enough hull displacement to leave a good margin?

Also, has anyone tried to make better sails for this boat? The stock ones seem to be flat sheets. I would expect some serious gains in performance with properly contoured ones.

Finally, what about vang adjustments? Is looser better, or how do you know how to set it?

I am a total newbie at this, being an airplane type all my life. Are there books or magazines that anyone can recommend?

Thanks, Larry Renger (Designman)
