If you want a way to catalog equipment I'd suggest something like the Navy Ship Work Breakdown System (SWBS) to organize it. SWBS is kind of like a Dewey Decimal System for ships. So for example 233 = Diesel Engine. It is meant for ships so there aren't pre-defined buckets for the sailing rig...

Here is a photo with a very rough measurement from the sheaves to the deck on my 380. Adding distance to the waterline and distance from the sheaves to the top of the mast and antennas I would not try to fit under a 54 ft bridge.

Couple of thoughts for you. The boat’s heel and trim angles will affect what the gage is reading. Gages are reading the liquid height. So if the bottom of the tank is shaped to the hull it isn’t going to have as much volume as the upper part of the tank. Think of the gage as reporting liquid...

@Sean Engle I will see what I can get from the scanner that I have at work this week. It should be better than the shaky photo that I posted above.

The brochure doesn't have an elevation, just the two plan views, marketing text, and some other photos. I dunno why it's called "38" in the brochure. I agree that it seems like every other source seems to refer to the PSC built version as a "380".

I have a color PSC brochure. Is this what you are looking for? I can take it to work next week where I have a better scanner.
