List to starboard
« on: Today at 09:23 »
My boat ocean 47 has a list to starboard. Is there a way to correct this? A friend who previously owned a Bavaria from new told me all Bavaria yachts list. Is this true?. On the starboard side I  have the batteries but this was compensated by 90 m of 10 mm chain in port side saloon bilge. Also only using port side water and fuel tanks had no effect to correct the list. Looks like I will have to live with this?

If your boat lists to starboard, you need to add more port wine.  :))

😂 I think no boat is perfectly balanced and always will list a bit. Especially with wide hulls like the Bavaria’s, it will give a lot of space but very sensitive to weight distribution. Water and fuel are most of the times balanced in quantities, as you mention batteries are making the difference… you need to put them somewhere…
