Catalacs tend to hobby horse a bit, like all cats of their generation. Ideally one would have all weight in the middle, rather than at the ends, but that is easier said than done. We have roughly equal weight in the starboard locker, spare chain, anchor etc, but nothing like the weight you are proposing.. You might try having a large conduit from the locker, through the heads to the starboard hull to store stuff ther, but I would then worry more about water ingress. At least the chain lockers are self draining.. I suppose 325 lb is a bit like having two large guys standing on the port bow, not desirable, but you could sail for but like that, although I think we would all eventually ask them to sit in the middle! A question... Do you really need all that chain, or could you work with a shorter length plus rope? Perhaps halve the chain, keep half starboard as spare, use half to port with a long rope addition?
