I finally started a project that has been on my mind since before I even bought Sea Puppy. Moving the battery from starboard to port. The original design (actually the only design from the factory) for the Beneteau F235s has the engine, gas tank, Cockpit locker, holding tank, head, chart table and battery all on starboard.. This gives a normally laden F235 a pronounced list to starboard. When sailing on starboard tack this is like having another crew person hiked out but on port its just the opposite.. This creates a significant difference in speed between port and starboard tacks as well as a little bit of pointing difference.
