Never, ever use cheap rum on a R22. It's against the rules. Only top shelf  
will do. One year I added cheap vodka to the water tank to keep it from  
freezing. When spring cam along I added and orange juice and then the party  
began.
All this discussion about weight and wind and hull speeds.....Really  
people. I've been sailing my R22 for twenty years now and I'm always learning  
something new.

Does a  gallon of rum weigh more than a gallon of water? If so I could
refill my  tank with cheap rum and see how she sails.
