Nice question.
Well, I have not tried it. But I would assume that a 14ft dinghy, laden with four children and with six pigs of ballast (five small - each of which might be - what - 14lbs? and one large - 28lbs?) and travelling at speed - maybe four knots, maybe five - could hit a rock hard enough to make a hole in herself.
