You really want to keep the boat sitting on her lines as much as you can. Get as much down low in the center of the boat as possible. Too much weight either fore or aft will encourage "hobby horsing".

Lola, from looking at the pictures of your boat you don't have enough stowable weight to worry about distribution. If you jam it all in the quarter berth, it will bounce around less. As you have time, use some eye-bolts and bungie cords to just hold some of that stuff in place.
Go sailing!!
