[C320-list] 320 Draft

[Jeff]

Hello All,

I am a new member, new boat owner, and new sailor.  I purchased hull 174 last July.    Catalina swears it is 4'4 draft but after several measurements taken while boat was on the hard during survey, I came up with 4'10".    I measured a plumb line from waterline stain on hull to ground and subtracted the height of block keel was resting on.    I operate as if draft is 4    10.
