[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit Under Water

[Ware, Joseph W.]

I was out this past week with 7 people on board.  4 adults and three kids.
We had tons of wind, and had the genny furled from 100% down to 10% and
still brought water over the rail, as well as across the bow.  My question
is, with this many people in the boat, we had water in the cockpit all day.
Is this normal, and is there any way to change the balance forward to
eliminate the stern from sitting so low?
