I have to admit I pulled her out for minor modifications. I should know better by now, water mustn't be used as ballast alone. Water is useful to reduce bouyancy or provide some volume but in conjunction with more stable ballasting. I replaced the water with damp sand. She sailed along the shore managing to hold her own against the waves but without a rudder she was inclined to inch up into the wind.
