with a certain number of people on board.

We have a Prindle 16. We are currently sailing with two people, weight a total of 360 pounds. I am not sure how to tell when the boat is sitting too deep in the water, but it doesn't seem to be bogging down too much for our undemanding recreational status, but I have nothing to compare to, since this is the only cat we have experience with.

So what would happen if I added another person - say, a 45 pound 5 year old or a 150+ pound teen?
