No I don't deny any such thing. However I am quite certain that you cannot.



say it is not seaworthy. It's ballast ratio is only 25%


Where did you get this figure?


420 lbs ballast 1650 lbs diplacement. Yes, that's 25% to me! Perhaas you
should invest in a calculator or some math lessons?

and it's form
stability is lost at 45 degrees.

Tell me what you think it should be? Have you even looked at it's
crossection? Have you even seen GZ curve for a vessel with slab vertical

a 3'sea.



I suggest you are either 1- talking about something with no knowledge and/or 2- talking about a
different boat.

Wrong on both counts.
