Despite all the talk about “dialing in trim”, i have yet to see a comprehensive list of factors that affect trim, and also where divisions of weights need to be located on different body types in order to sort out weighting so that you have a decent starting place before you go in the water and start turtling like the Swedish Warship Vasa.
Are we too delicate to mention that NOT weighting for butz and gutz make us a diving klutz?
To start, i am a “Middleweight”, so I found i needed weight on a weight belt in front, but tried spreading some trim weights on tanks. Whether in 7mm or in 3mm wetsuits, with aluminum tank, it seems like tank trim weights are just not helping with stability, as weights want to roll under and tummy wants to float up.
Are tank trim weights just for skinny people?
