Did a comparison with my wing keel and a water ballast that is down the dock from me.

I was asking Arlyn if he knew of any differences in the spreader length and if the shroud chain plates were farther aft on the water ballast. He said he didn't know if there were any differences.

This is what I saw. The wb speaders are longer than the wk and the chain plates are mounted outboard and farther aft. Of course this is on the wb pre 2002. Now the wb and wk have the same deck mold and the shroud chain plates are in the same place.


wk spreaders,

After seeing this, I can see how a backstay adjuster would be less effective on the water ballast than on the wing keel.
