Mac 26S Center of Gravity

Does anyone know where the center of gravity is on the Mac 26S with the water ballast full? I’m putting my boat on a lift and I’d like to keep the center of gravity close to the center of the lift.

I think if you find the center point of the water line that's going to be close enough. These are light boats.

I would say a little bit forward of the axle when on the trailer, probably no further forward than the mast step.

Here's a link to a photo if helpful.

Thanks. This is where I ended up putting it. I wasn’t sure if the water ballast changed the center of gravity from where it is on trailer.

Are you emptying the ballast when it's on the lift?
