Tom,
    That is a little high!  Is she equally as low in the stern?  Carina Vela
sits a good 4-5 inches high in the bow, and a little less in the stern area.
The waterline is generally about 2" out of the water at the beam.  These
measurements are with fully loaded tanks.  I think that Alberg designed the
boat so when she was fullly loaded with stores for cruising, she would sit
fairly level on the water-line.  The nice thing about the waterline sitting so
high is that you avoid getting grasses on the bootstripe.
    Well, at least she is finally in the water!
