I was watching a Lady K video and he talked about his dream boat being a Hunter HC-50, a racer/cruiser hybrid that could easily average 12+ knots partly because of its water ballast tanks.
But it seems to be a pretty rare boat, I couldn't find any HC-50 boats listed for sail or any videos on youtube about them.
I went on a deep dive about water ballast and haven't found much, most people are talking about trailer boats when talking about water ballast. Google, reddit, youtube, forums like these, and I've found 4 boats that use water ballast besides the HC-50 and they're all pure racing boats.
I'm sure there are a lot more boats out there that utilize water ballast but I've spent an embarrassing amount of time researching to come up with only 4 boats. Any help?
