[C320-list] New owner today

I agree with Chuck. Our boat was shipped from Georgia to Massachusetts by a boat hauler. The mast was carried beside the boat on the trailer. We got some chafe marks on our mast and rub-rails from not good enough padding. 

Protect the mast, rigging and forestay against chafe. Also, the straps holding boat to trailer can chafe the rubber rubrails, so watch those areas too.

Make sure the roller furler is well supported/strapped to the mast to prevent bends and make sure it doesn't get squashed either.

Ahoy Raymond -

We transported our 1994 using a professional mover. The mast was on the deck. My only advise is to be sure everything is well cushioned against vibration and chafing. Good luck!

Fellow 320 owners, I am now the proud owner of a 1997 vintage 320 by the name of 
aypoint (432). She is currently lying in her slip at Sandusky Bay. I have 
ontracted with Loadmaster to construct a new triple axle trailer on which I 
ill relocate Waypoint to her new home at Frisco Bay Marina (elev 9017') on 
eautiful Dillon Reservoir in Colorado. Being a 1997 model, Waypoint has a 
'10" wing keel. Are there any amongst you that have transported your boats via 
railer? If so, is there any advice you would offer on carrying the mast? Over 
he cabin top, side mount, trailer mount? I'm all ears.
