Frank,
Zero list is correct. This was confirmed by measuring freeboard with a tape measure (42 in. exactly at the beam port and starboard) from the top of the toe rail to the water in dead calm conditions.
What is the dim star nearly straight above and seen to the left of Vega and the roller furling in the cropped attached image? Declination should be around 33* 25' N
Is that a dim star seen very close by Vega ?

P.S. Your star to star distances are only valid for the pixel count of each distance. .378 moa/px is only a hair too big for pixel counts under 100. Close though and a pretty good value considering that the image is fuzzy.
