[C320-list] Jack stand height

[Ed Lockett]

We actually won't be using jack stands, but will have it on an adjustable sail boat trailer with 4 bracing pads.  Are just trying to get a good idea of how high up to adjust the bracing pads before pulling out the boat.  Ours is a 2001 with hull #852.  Probably a 4'10"  draft.
