Ballast ratio

Hi I’ve recently read an article stating that the ballast ratio drops from 40% on a fin keel to 35% on a bilge keel sabre 27.
I find this hard to believe however does anyone know the actual facts?

Blocked sinks

This may sound stupid but I have a blocked galley sink and blocked shower drain. Now I know they drain under the waterline so do they have some kind of non return valve fitted or can I put a plumbers corkscrew down it?
