I can't find anything about ballast stones being used on the Sea of Galilee, but there are lots of mentions of ballast bags.

- ChuckMcM 14y agoI've seen ballast bags as well (even on nominally "modern" sampan boats). If I were a sailor 4K years ago I'd probably optimize for cost first, speed second. But I don't have a good idea for how much effort it takes to fill ballast bags so I can be very confident in reasoning about where they would fall on that scale.
