[C38] C38 chauvinism

[Ron Zetterberg]

Don,

Thanks for the note... and the invitation...no bias here ;-)

I live in San Diego... sailed the Bay for twenty years in the 70s and 80s,
Ericsons and J boats.......  Great sailing... day sail around Alcatraz..
...lunch at Dantes...wander around Angel Island.. evening sail back to
Alameda....  Great place to own and sail a boat....

Thanks for the comment... You have convinced me!! I am actively looking for
a great deal.. great boat.. anywhere on the west coast... If you hear of a
Catalina 38 in the Bay area that is worth considering... let me know..

At your service,

  Ron: I can give you a completely objective answer with no conflict of
interest: the C38 is simply a better boat all around than those Ericsons.
  Now, in a more subjective and perhaps informative mode, you are welcome to
go sailing on SF Bay sometime.
  regards, Don

    Good day all....

    After sailing, racing and cruising for 35 years or so... Always as a
bridesmaid, never a bride..  crewed and rented..helmsman, deck ape,
tactician.. I have finally found myself in a position to buy my boat... My
nest is empty...

    I have sailed and raced Ericsons, (30,35), Columbia 30s, Ranger 33s
(great boat),  Hunters, J24s, et al.  Most of my sailing has been SF Bay,
Southern California, and Northern Oregon.  I enjoy heavy weather sailing.
Sailing with my boat will be club racing (spinnaker and non-spinnaker
class), weekending, and coastal cruising to the SoCal Islands, (maybe a
sojourn to Hawaii).  Short and long crew.

    Sooo... My spec is a boat that club races well, handles lite and heavy
weather equally well, can be short crewed, comfortable accommodations for 6,
and, well, looks great (form fits function). I have never sailed a Catalina
38.

    Based upon my research and personal experience....top of my short list,
in order.... Catalina 38,  Ericson 35-38.

    Sooo... with all of that, Why the Catalina 38??? Who else to ask than
the people who own one?

    Comments and observations are more than welcomed....

    Thanks.
