Whatever your experiences were on
SF bay, they are a special case, SF is known world wide for heavy winds so as a stiff
boat the
Cal does very well there but everywhere else it
sails about on a par with the
Catalina, that's why I found the national base ratings. Tahoe is not a heavy
weather Mecca like SF and those ratings would be more indicative of relative performance there.
I do take the listed weights with a grain of
salt, but for comparing relative weight they do just fine unless one has knowledge that one
builder overbuilt by more than another.
Once again the OP's tow vehicle will probably be the key issue and boat and
trailer weight the deciding factor.
