[C320-list] Seaworthiness

[Adam Weiner]

I was at the Strictly Sail boat show today in Oakland.  The C320 MK!!
Was there and I stood on the bow of another boat about 30 feet in front
of the bow of the new 320.  It had a list to port!  Gerry Douglas was
there and I had a nice conversation with him.  He said He loved my April
Fool's post. We talked a lot about cooking!

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.
