The 26M manual states:

Ballast tank full: 6 persons or 960 lbs.
Ballast tank empty: 4 persons 640 lbs and no one should be on the cabin or foredeck.

Maximum 1 person for every life jacket on board.

NO NO NO

I have 10 life jackets on board - - - because through the years I've accumulated 10 that are still good - - - but there is NO WAY I would host 10 souls on my :macm: Well, maybe if they were nude playmates :evil:

Rick :) :macm:

PS But what would I do with 10 of them anyway??? I'd probably cut it down to a more reasonable and usable number - - - like 5 :evil:
