    Only solution is to move everything towards the stern!!!! Its a big undertaking but the only safe answer. Adding weight at the stern will just reduce freeboard and that will cause other problems

    I see there is a suggestion to add a boom to the mainsail. These barges did not have a boom and any mods like that will not be an accurate representation of the original

    I have a detachable keel which is fitted for sailing and removed for display
    The sails were made from a recycled tablecloth

    Its better that you redesign the system so you have a continous loop running off the winch with sheets attached to the loop. The loop need to be tensioned with some sort of spring
