[C320-list] Crack in stringer below compression post

[P.F. Ross]

If you go to the C320 website under Reference Documents : Catalina
Brochures : Catalina Technical Brochure you can see an athwartship section
of the "Typical Mast Support System".  Note that this brochure is general
in nature and may not show exactly what is going on with our 320s, but my
guess is that it is pretty close.
