That sounds pretty dangerous, I might consider a different boat or lake.

I’m thinking of inducing heel with a water bucket or bag similar to the big boat technique used on the Caloosahachee in FL (see video called Boat Balls - https://youtu.be/WGAzt-8minI). My wife did the calculation based on 25’ from waterline to the masthead (to be confirmed with a Windex installed) and the weight needs to be 14’ from the mast. My guess is that heeling toward the OB (to keep it in the water) with my weight and a 5 gallon (or so) bucket of lake water and a pre-measured halyard (for height) and tailing line (for the 14’ measurement) and a boat hook to push bucket out will do it. Has anyone done this before? Any advice? Thanks, Erik
