[C320-list] Bottom keel to Pulpit height

[Ken Danko]

Andrew:

I just had Grace on the hard for some repairs and measured distances. I 
know that it is 77 inches from the bottom of the keel to the top of the 
anti-fouling paint. Today I eyeballed the distance from that line to the 
top of the winch next to the companionway which was 67 inches. That is 
12 feet in total. Again, I tried to eyeball the height of the rail above 
the pedestal and that was an extra 19 inches above the height of the 
winch. That rail could be removed for the trip a lot easier than 
removing the keel.

I hope that that helps.
