Some smaller and lighter keelboats (particularly racing boats) are designed to account for crew weight in the cockpit while sailing and sit stern high when unloaded at rest.
Not sure if that’s true for the 25, but maybe try putting three full size people in the cockpit and see how it sits.

The bow is probably 1-2" lower in the water than the stern when at the dock. It causes water to pool in front of the companionway and the icebox drain isn't all that effective. She currently sits above her waterline by upwards of 3", about 1-2" at the bow. This isn't a new development, but it's recently made me wonder. Before I start trying more difficult things to reduce weight up front (not entirely sure what I'd do, I just have a spinnaker and a small anchor stored up front), I was curious if this is especially problematic. Any thoughts? Thanks! Stephen 25 mkII, 566 Washington DC _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
