I've got this report from Tayana for the Vancouver 460 Pilot
but don't know how good it is.

I have another idea.

Since this boat has a 325-gallon fuel tank and a 240-gallon
water tank and the inclining experiment was done with all
tanks half full, would I be able to significantly improve on
the stability if I fill up all the tanks for my offshore cruising ?

I can install a watermaker and solar panels so I won't have to
draw too much water and fuel from these tanks.
I think I read that the latest 460 even has some water displacement
ballast but you should not count on fuel and water for ultimate
stability as when the survival storm happens you may not have full
tanks. If stability is a problem then the solar panels will add even
more top hamper.

I am really interested in what Mr Harris and Tayana have to say about
the stability of the 460.
