With water ballast boats you'll notice it feels more like a powerboat when sitting at the dock or. motoring with the sails down; but it's rock solid once it heels more than 5 degrees.

Catalina 250
Catalina 250 Specs. The Catalina 250 is one of a group of relatively lightweight, shallow-draft trailerable cruising boats that appeared in the mid-1990s, utilizing water ballast to provide stability.

Why a Water Ballast System is Worth Thinking About
The water ballast should be between 10% and 30% of the total displacement of the boat; The water ballast should be placed as low and as far outboard as possible to maximize its righting moment; The water ballast should be adjusted according to the wind strength, wave height, and point of sail to achieve the best balance and trim.
What Is A Water Ballast Sailboat?
The water ballast keeps the boat from rocking back and forth much in the same way a lead keel boat does. If the energy input is sufficient, the boat will roll one way, then the other in both systems. Water ballast stability does not refer to total stability. All sailboats heel over. Keep in mind these two key principles.

Know-how: From Ballast to Berths
When we bought the boat, the water ballast had already been decommissioned, and the tanks were just inaccessible empty spaces. The designer confirmed that the water ballast wasn't structural or necessary for the normal use of the boat and the cruising we had planned for her, especially with our 4-ton, 4.2-meter (nearly 14-foot)-deep keel.
Owner's Review of the MacGregor 26 Sailboat Models
The MacGregor 26D (daggerboard), built from about 1986 to 1990, introduced water ballast to replace the weighted keel. When the water was drained for trailering, the boat weighed only 1650 lbs, making it even more attractive for towing with a regular automobile. The daggerboard, like a keel, helps prevent the boat from being blown sideways but ...

Boat Review: Hunter Edge
The boat is quite sensitive to load. Water ballast is only necessary for sailing, and the boat is about 3 knots faster with the tank empty. It takes about 7-8 minutes to dump the ballast while underway. The Edge has excellent manners up on a plane; it banks into turns properly, tracks well, and rides smoothly.

Hunter 23.5 and water ballast
I don't have a link, but I was under the impression that the capsize ratio of the 23.5 water ballast was the same as the comparable Hunter with a keel.
