[C320-list] Broken Stanchion

[Joseph Aberdale]

Herb,

The broken stanchion is amidships on the port side.  Looking at it  
from inside, it's just to the right of the navigation station.  I  
removed the wood panel but there is the molded part of the hull  
behind it. While I can barely reach it with my hand, the reach is at  
an angle and it doesn't seem possible to be able to get a wrench at  
it. The bolt runs a good inch below the nut so it doesn't seem that a  
socket would work.

Thank you Herb.

Joe
