[C320-list] C320 boat list

[Diane Fowler]

Thanks for verifying my "listing" problem.   I just pack cases of beer and soda on starboard top shelf over table area.  I DO race & find she is always faster on 1 tack!   Hubby thought I was just imagining this!

Therefore, I placed 50lbs (two 25lb bags) of lead shot mid ship and high close to the gunnel behind the head wall - starboard side.  They are  placed between the head wall and the hull above the head medicine chest (the medicine chest makes a nice shelf in this area for the lead shot to sit). Because the lead shot is in a  bag, it takes the shape of the area you are placing it.  You can access this area by going through the aft cabin locker (you have to remove the cedar back panel).  You can buy the lead shot recycled for about $40/bag. I have found that this has solved my port list and it is nice to work from a galley that is level and have a boat that sits level on the mooring.
