Like allot of boats, my C-30 sits with the bow waterline about two inches out of the water. This also makes the mast look a little pulled back. Is there any performance improvement to filling the front H20 tank or other shifts of weight to get the boat on the factory waterline? Lazarette and other stern load is very light as is. It is an air-conditioned boat.

Thanks,

Jim

Jim, if you can get your C30 to sit level you are doing a lot better than the rest of us. I really think I get better performance when the bow water tank is near empty. Of course there is still the Catalina list to port! Because of the list to port I try to keep the starboard water tank full. Still I have not been able to trim the boat level in the slip but it just makes sense to try all that is practicle.

Where is you a/c mounted?
