Hello Minaret. I gather, from a brief comment you made on a thread, that you think - of the production boats - a Catalina say ten years old may not be a bad thing, from a build perspective. I'm looking at one in Australia of that vintage. It's 39 ft. They are not nearly as common here as the European production boats. It is a fair bit dearer than an equivalent European boat. Is that justified by the build quality? Of course, I would rather have a Nauticat, but will not have enough money before I shuffle off.
