Well apparently the point is moot, I've offered on a local
boat and the owners agreed, a
Catalina 30 tall rig , 1978. It seems prices are quite flexible when owners want to avoid end of season
haul out and
storage. She has tiller
steering, the traveler is mounted above the
cabin roof, extended
bowsprit with double rollers,
furling jib, the aft stay has been split into a
bridle to allow for transom boarding, I'm feeling pretty excited about the whole thing. The only neg to me was the
yanmar 12 HP
single cyl
diesel, it does seems underpowered, I like that I can stand upright at 6"3 in the.
cabin, Sellers were very motivated and included all kinds of sundry items from flare gun ans shells to life saving
gear, PPD, chart plotter auto
helm, yadda yadda. Now need to scare up some stands or a
cradle for when its
haul out time here in the great white north. Fun times abound !
