Hi, Al,

A pleasure hearing from you. Interestingly enough, I still have the 1987 C34 brochure. Back then we didn't have the $$ for one, so we waited, looked for an entire year for nothing but C34s and found our 1986 #224 in 1998.

I fully understand the learning curve. In order to help C34 owners, and many others since not all boat systems are boat-specific, we started and have continued c34ia.org. I strongly urge you to visit and to read the daily Main Message Board, much like this one, but replete with links.

I come here every day, too.

My wife at that time was my second wife, we sailed our Catalina 25 for many years before she said: "Go get the boat you really want!" Now she comes with me more often --- I hear ya!

Hope to see you "over there" and consider joining our Association, too.

Thanks for the kind words.

Stu

PS I sailed her up to British Columbia from San Francisco last summer. Great trip. There's a link to my log on our forum.
