No experience here with carrying water but I'd think that a Diamond Goal

fly with ballast.
I must say I'd agree with that, if only because under reasonable
conditions you'll only be on task around 5 hours flying dry. If the day
is as good as you think you don't need to go faster: 5 hours for 300 km
is 59 kph, 32 kts average speed.
