[C320-list] New Splash guard (Actually PHRF ratings)

Tue Oct 10 11:57:24 PDT 2006

Quentin,
In PHRF, a lower number is faster, thus 150 for spinnaker, 186 for non-spinnaker. Personally I think 150 for my wing keel 320 is a tad too low. Btw, that 150 rating assumes folding prop

Mike:

Your boat is PHRF rated using a higher number for spin, whereas in another
email the 350 is described as slower than the 320 but the PHRF rating for
the 350 is 175 and for the 320 is 150.  Let's presume that PHRF ratings
should be the same everywhere except for slight variations with the
individual boat (sail size or condition, props, etc) and possibly the
measurer.  So how come the spin rating on your boat has a higher number than
the non-spin?  Something does not add up here, unless the C350 is a rocket
in disguise.

West Florida PHRF has 3 Catalina 350's in the database. Their base rating is
144 versus a base rating of 165 for a Catalina 320. However on top of that
they also gave the boats +12 seconds per mile for the roller furling
mainsail.
Is that why you feel they are underpowered?

That is a slug of a boat--slow, badly layed out down below, etc.--they are
having problems in selling that thing...

Why wouldn't you consider a 350?

 The changes to the 320 seem to be a mix of good and bad. Nice salon lamps,
some storage improvements, smaller settee, nav panel that you can't see or
reach from a seated position, questionable reefer upgrade. The only thing
they really needed to do with the 320 was to add some storage. Catalina
should have put the effort into upgrading the C36. I'd like to move up to
the 36 (won't consider the 350) but it needs a total interior upgrade. For a
boat of its size it is very cramped, dark, and awkward for 2 people to move
around in.

What they really should do is build a 370 with the same basic design and
performance characteristics as the 320. If they don't do something pretty
soon, I might seriously consider going over to the Dark Side, Beneteau.

Herb,

I might have had to look twice to notice the splash guard.  What really
caught my eye in picture #5 is that they've scrunched up the port salon
shelf considerably.  With the full height instrument panel aft and the
hanging locker forward, it looks more like a 310.  One big thing my wife and
didn't like about the 310 was that the main cabin was so scrunched.

No, I really wasn't all that impressed. The splash guard is an obvious add
on, the 387 had a corian splash guard as part of the countertop, very nice.
I think Catalina picked up the new slash guard at home depot.  The new
hanging locker deminised the area where my flat screen TV is located, it was
the first thing my wife noticed.  And she doesn't notice anything.  Since I
can't really afford the 387 yet I might have considered  trading my 99" 320
for a new 320 but no midship cleats sealed it.  I'll wait for the 387.

Sincerely,
