[C320-list] Length overall

[clburti at gmail.com]

I’m not sure about the length they measured, and suspect they may be pretty close, but the issue shows what kind of idiotic thinking is prevalent in the marina business. Length has nothing to do with what actually limits the number of slips they can rent. The number of slips that most marinas can rent is defined by the width and depth of the slips. The only issue they have with length is how a big boat’s length projects into and obstructs the fairway. You control that by refusing boats that are too long, not by charging them more…and that is my rant for the day…

Has anyone actually measured their 320 end to end to get a true LOA including the pulpit and projection at the rear of the boarding ladder.

I just ask because my marina is trying to charge us based on 10.4 metres (34ft 1.5”) which they claim they have measured which seems a bit on the high side to me!

I’m 250 miles away so can’t just nip down to the yard and measure it!

Thanks
