I have noticed since my 455 was new that while moored it heels to port even with the starboard fuel tank full.
Is this commen? Edited by Sailingsteve - 28 January 2018 at 20:31 |

My 455 does not. Ask your dealer.

Yes I asked the dealer and there happened to be one just commissioned, it had the same heel. They are trying to tell me it’s normal!

Yes its very common. We have a practice of anything new we store or install going on starboard.

Is your rigging equal on both sides? Mast perpendicular to the deck?

Yes I have checked the mast with the halyard by measuring to the toe rail, if any it's slightly leaning to starboard. A little heel I could put up with but the corner of the oven is hitting the fridge when I open it causing a dent!

Same for my 445 from 2014, always slightly heels to port side. Also checked the rigging, was OK. I guess this is a design flaw in the total weight distribution or a (small) hull shape error.
