[C320-list] Should I buy a C320?

[Adam Weiner]

Peter, I am not sure but the newer model, I believe, is the MKII but I
could be wrong.

That's the boat.  About 150k extremely well equipped and the living
space of my first two apartments combined.  I have sailed against one in
our 320 and in light airs, believe it or not, we held even.  When the
winds got to moderate (10 to 12 knots) it took off.

Well built, well respected and the only real negative thing I have heard
is the finish behind cabinets, drawers, etc. isn't good.

Used they run around 100k.

Adam

Adam ..... Are you referring to the Gemini 105MC which is a 34'
catamaran 
sailboat made by Performance Cruising, Inc. in Annapolis, MD? I believe 
there are a few of them in the SF area. We are pondering the move to a 
sailing catamaran with cruising capabilities. Ideal for shallow waters
in 
So. Florida and the Bahamas but they've also crossed the North Atlantic.
