We were launched last Saturday at RMC. I have not fired up the Yanmar yet. She seems to sit a bit lower in the stern. My fuel tank is under the cockpit, looks to be 12 gallons and is half full. I have two group 31 deep cycle batteries under the cabin sole at the bottom of the companionway. I don't have any other gear or sails on the boat. The water tank and holding tank are under the v-berth and are empty. I hope it levels up as I load her up.

Curious about the foot of your mast. What's the metal thing? Also, are your forward shrouds wrapped in something?
Looks to me like there is a simple base plate, that the mast is sitting on. Picture a plate with two sides, making the mast kind of like a hinge while stepping the mast.
The shrouds just look like the have some chafe protection around them to reduce abrasion on the sail when tacking.
Yes the mast is sitting on a plate.
The shrouds have a wooden dowel around them that free to rotate. As mentioned I assume it's for abrasion of the sail or sheets.
