[C320-list] Don't buy a Catalina 470

[Adam Weiner]

Actually, it got so boring walking past him that I went below to take a
nap and left the helm in charge of my good friends (and brilliant
tactician and helmsman) Mike and Craig.  I think it was the asymmetrical
and my fixed 2 bladed prop.

Adam-
 Perhaps you're just the superior tactician and helmsman?  I gotta
figure 50% greater water line is gonna help pass us in certain (most?)
conditions...  -russ

left the marina right behind me.  Using its furling main and electrical
winches it hoisted its main and what looked like a 155% before I had my
main up.  It turned to a beam reached and before we got our main and
asymmetrical up it was nearly a mile ahead of us.  With light winds (and
Stan's asymmetrical) we walked by it in under 20 minutes.  As soon as we
past it tacked and headed back to the marina.
