Default asw20 water ballast length

Hi

For some strength calculations I'd like to know the length of the
water ballast bags of an ASW20 (A). Anyone?

Many thanks
Ruud

Roughly ten feet. Root end about 3 feet from the wing root, tip at
the flap/aileron junction.

Don't know the 20 but for my 19 filling the full length of the bags
put the glider well over max gross. I shortened mine so I was at max
gross when full.
