| Ballast is used in sailboats to provide moment to resist the lateral forces on the sail. Insufficiently ballasted boats tend to tip or heel excessively in high winds. Too much heel may result in the boat capsizing. If a sailing vessel should need to voyage without cargo then ballast of little or no value would be loaded to keep the vessel upright. Some or all of this ballast would then be discarded when cargo was loaded. |
