Well, after a sensational sail Newhaven to Rye and a gorgeous trip up the river - sloping bottom!
Yep, I know, check the depth both sides.
Anyway, during the sleepless and sloping evening, when my wife was claiming a lean of 30°, I measured it with a level - 18°.
So, brains trust, at what angle am I likely to tip over when dried out? Sadler 29 bilge keeler.
We have moved to the other side at a stately lean of just under 1°.
Oh, and if you're in Rye, be careful of choosing the inviting looking ladder No7 on the Eastern side. A quick survey showed that we were by far the leaniest vessel!
A photo taken from the mooring of evil! On t'other side behind the local boats is much better - but there isn't much water, so don't get neaped!
