C57 Style Leaning to starboard side
« on: May 07 2020, 23:59 »
I have a one year old Bavaria C57 Style. It seems to be a few inches higher one side than the other. Have checked fuel tank balance water tank, hull, keel and weight of possessions inside the the boat, but can't find anything that could be causing it. Any ideas anyone?

Do you have your mast centered? Shrouds all the same lenght, terminals on port and starboard on the same position?

Batteries upgraded? Those are heavy. Or changed to Lithium? Those are a lot lighter, so it would heel the other way.

Just pack more stuff in the opposite side. All boats have this to some extent.
