  1. Hello all, I am living aboard a new (to me) 52ft narrowboat. When I first arrived on the boat, I didn't observe any noticeable listing but had yet to put in all my furniture. I have since moved all my belongings on board, and noticed that they have ended up mainly on the starboard side. I have also removed a large cupboard that was previously built in to the port side. Since then, the boat seems to be leaning slightly to the starboard side & so I moved some pre-existing moveable ballast slabs from the starboard side to the port side. This has helped a little bit, but now the boat seems to be more affected than before by any movement through the boat & has quite a noticeable sway whenever someone moves within the boat. The boat does, however, seem more level when people on board are still. There is still some ballast remaining on the starboard side, is it worth moving it or is the swaying normal in a well-balanced boat? Thanks!
