Boat Ballast Bag - Portable and Pumpless - 50 lb. - Wakesurfing and Wakeboarding

The media could not be loaded. I needed a way of ballasting my sailing dinghy to get her bedded down deeper in the water to make her more stable and help with righting her after a capsize. Four bags giving a total weight of 200LBS strapped to the floorboards either side of the centreboard works very nicely. Being water they are not in the boat for towing, launching or retrieval, they are filled before setting sail and emptied when the day is over. The bags are very strongly constructed and easily filled. I used a small baling bucket to get them really full. My boat now wants to right herself when capsized and that's great for my peace of mind...
