[C320-list] Storage of washboard/stormboards on new C32s, engine box fit & yacht charters

[Chris Burti]

Annie,
On 867, the washboards will only fit one way and one
order. Bottom one first, rabbeted edge forward to give
it a bit of clearance and stowed outboard, middle one
second rabbet the same way, top last, rabbet reversed
so that the hasp on top and is facing the engine
cover.

We have a slight gap on the port side but not big
enough to see through. we have to be careful replacing
the engine cover to minimize noise and vibration.
