Rob Mazza (sp?) from the list did a design article for Good Old Boat about the
center of buoyancy etc. It would seem the CG would be close by. IIRC it was
about a third back from the leading edge of the keel. Not all boats are the
same, but it's a good starting point.Rob, are you tracking this and have
something to suggest?RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

Probably a bit further forward. My first guess would be to look for the lift
points and expect the CG is half way between them.
The lift points, usually, are somewhere around the aft end of the companion
way (bulkhead) and around the chainplates/bulkhead around the mast.
I don't know your boat in particular, but from the experience (for the last
10 years I regularly participate in hauling out and launching around 100
boats each spring and fall), I would say that it is a reasonably good
educated guess.

Folks I am in final stages of new trailer fabrication and need to identify
approximately where CG is for boat for placement on trailer. Original owner
manual doesn't define CG. I am thinking towards trailing edge of keel but
this is somewhat of a guess. Any thoughts to clarify or estimate CG would
be much appreciated
