The critical part is proper ballasting -- That and wind pressure holds her more steadily than you might expect.

When the Godspeed sailed from Portsmouth the "experts" on board had stowed over 400 cases of soft drinks in the bow -- and were amazed at how hard she was to steer!

if you have ever been to Savannah, a lot of the riverfront is paved with ballast stones
