Why not just link the tanks Mark, so they are always level, and look...no hands, and no list..!Picked up the mag today at the Vallejo Marina after addressing berth-neighbors' concern the Coot was taking on water, resulting in a list to port. Not to worry. Transferring fuel from the port fuel tank to the empty starboard tank corrected the list. ... Steve must welcome lots of visitors or has too many auxiliary boats. ... Good-looking boat, Steve has.
Previously, it was a list to starboard that concerned neighbors. Same issue: fuel yet to be balanced among tanks.
I agree that these boats are unbelievable in the Ocean. We cruised from San Diego to San Francisco, then back south and spent 12 years in Mexico. Never once did I doubt the sea keeping capabilities of Freedom. We had a captain bring her back from Puerto Vallarta a year ago and Elizabeth's first statement to me when she arrived in San Francisco was "wow, this old girl can really handle anything you can throw at her".
You should have no problem taking Cary'd Away back to the PNW.
