    I`m building a Brixham trawler IBEX
    Anyone know how much ballast is needed for a scratch built hull would it be wise to use a bulb on a fin or along lead keel

    How do I calculate the CLR of my new Thames barge,I know it has to be within 10% of the waterline length behind the CofE of the sail plan I need this data to place the fin and ballast.
