[C320-list] Prospective 320 buyer

[Adam Weiner]

Oh, my regrets.  I hope you don't blister my bottom.

Bruce, you may know the answer, but if not, maybe someone out there
does.  How many active people are on this list?  How many boats are in
the C320 organization?

Adam,
Sorry for your confusion.  The boat they are looking at is substantually
newer and made with vynelester as you know.  Has been discussed many
times on the list. Bruce Somerset 671 SoCal Sent via BlackBerry from

Hull blisters won't happen to our boats he says?  Gee, I would like to
see the empirical data on that.  Last haul out I spent nearly $1500
taking care of hull blisters.  Gee, and I was the one who said don't
worry about the systems, just go sailing.

Hull 218.

Warmest Blistering Regards,

Adam

In addition to what other list members have pointed out I'd check the
condition of the furler, the AC charger, the cutlass bearing, and rudder
shaft play.  Based on what Allen has taught me you do not need to worry
about hull blisters, it just won't happen to our boats. Good luck and
hope to see you on the list with your new boat. Bruce Somerset #671
SoCal PS.  We've really enjoyed cruising, racing and day sailing ours.
We would not hesitate to recommend the C320.

I'm considering buying a 2001 Catalina 320. Can any current or former
Catalina 320 owners provide me advice on items to consider when buying a
2001 Catalina 320? 

I am especially interested in issues affecting operating systems
(engine, electrical, head, tanks, etc.), the hull, deck and windows
(hull blisters, window leaks, etc.), and rigging including sails.

Thanks!
