[C320-list] Seaworthiness

[Jeff Church]

Randy,

This is probably a good time to repeat this reminder.

Last year someone discovered that if you add an inch to the port-side measurement when you center the mast (because the main halyard exit is offset to the starboard side), you can almost completely eliminate the port list.

  My bilge stays dry 99% of the time.  The GFO packing does wonders. 

  Having said this…  Has anyone ever noticed that the 320 has a list port.  I really had not noticed this before however, this year it is well pronounced.  Perhaps because the boat is empty and has little or no fuel in the tank.  The water line on the port side is at least 2 inches lower than the starboard.
