Just been reading my original C&C manual from 1977. (It’s in amazing good
condition for 36 years old!)
Says in there to put “at least 60% of the weight of the yacht on the keel”.
…and not to “put weight on the keel further aft than the last keel bolt.
Extreme aft tip of the keel is very thin”.
Not sure how your supposed to know when you’ve got 60% on the keel.

Balancing the weight between keel and stands is subject for debate.
Conventional wisdom says nearly all the weight should be on the keel with the
stands just for holding the boat upright.
I like a bit more weight on the stands as long as they're on bulkheads.

When one puts a boat on the hard, there's several things to consider.
Locating the stands on bulkheads so you don't depress/deform the hull
Leveling the boat so the cockpit drains (some cockpits drain forward, some aft)
Achieving a good balance of weight on keel vs stands

Thanks for all the great feedback, sounds as though I only have a cosmetic
issue with the crack to deal with. As I am only going cruising for four months
I'll probably just leave it.
As for having bought Outrider, I have had her since 07. Contemplated selling
her for a while - if you are reefing to listing on Yachtworld a couple of years
ago, that would have been during that time. Think I am going to be hanging on
to her for some time longer...
One other thing I noticed was that after the boat has sat on the hard for a
long period of time, the floorboards don't sit flat. I suspect that sitting on
the keel pushes up the sole. After a couple of months back in the water the
floor settles back down.
Normal stuff?
Thanks,
Peter
