[C320-list] Draft...again

[Larry Frank]

Karl,

I have hull #246.  The records are not entirely correct.  #246 has the
shallow bilge and a draft of 4"10".  Go figure.  Maybe I have the hull of a
deep bilge with the liner or a shallow bilge.  All I know is that I would
rather have the deep bilge and the 4'10" raft if this were possible.

I find it amusing how I have heard that Catalina kept the same hull form
when they went to the MKII so different vintage boats could race as a one
design class but at the same time there are 2-3 different combinations
drafts and keels on the "same model".

Since the 320 isn't a racer, and we really don't have "one-design" classes
racing around the world, it probably is a moot point, but why make this
claim?

According to our records, the bilge was deepened with hull 246 and the  
C310 keel was used starting with hull 847.
Therefore, hulls 246-846 should have 4' 10" draft.
If anyone has any contrary info, let me know so I can update our database.
