Mr. Perry reported to me that sixteen feet aft of the stem of the vessel
lies the center of gravity (on land) for the purpose of building a
trailer.
 
Van…
 
My 2 cents worth.

I measured my Baba 30 today and the height from the bottom of the keel
to the top of the mainsheet traveler is about 10 feet 8 inches. The
width of the keel is greatest on the forward portion and is about 12
inches wide. I have the keel sitting on about 3 blocks of wood about 3
inches thick so I can still fit the traveler's straps under the keel.
 
With my boat on the trailer it is about 12 feet high! I have a mast
carrier on the port side of the trailer so I don't have to have the mast
on the top. I verified B Perry's info that the keel bottom "starts"
about 16 feet aft of the bow (stem). It is quite a load but my trailer
has about 6,000 miles on it now.....I think that is even more than we
have sailed it!
 
I managed to get some pictures to Alan but I don't think I can post them
to the list.
 
I hope that helps,
 
Ken
