[C320-list] Prospective 320 buyer apology

[Lachance, Michael B (ISD, IT)]

87 days last year, but I don't log miles. These were in CT where season isn't as long as down south.

Adam,
62 days and 1,200 nautical miles on our C320 in the year ended yesterday,
with a FL Keys cruise of 400 miles.  

A further 30 days and 500 miles last summer on an old Pearson 10 Meter we
got to sail up North.  Retirement is good!

> It came about several years ago when I asked that year for people to
letme know who had sailed more times or miles.  There were just threepeople
who said they did.  Okay, I will throw the gauntlet down again, let's
collect some empiricaldata.  I would love to be proven wrong in this one
(the 320 docked by mehasn't been out in over a year so I am feeling cocky).
How many peoplesailed (not stayed on their boats) but sailed more than 51
days lastyear?  How many people moved their boats over 1,000 miles last
year?(And, why hasn't there been sailing stories submitted for the
Mainsheetby you guys?)Okay Allan, nothing would make me happier than you
proving me wrong.  Asyou know, I always gripe that there isn't enough talk
about sailing onthis list.  I would love to hear (well actually read) more
talk aboutsailing.Warmest prove me wrong regards,Adam-----Original

more than 90% of the people on the listeither by days out or by mileage." 
I'd love to see the empirical datathat supports that claim.  Can you please
share that with the rest ofus? In addition, I must have missed the survey
when you compiled thisdata. Thank you! - Allan-----Original

'C320-List'Subject: Re: [C320-list] Prospective 320 buyer apologyDear
Barbara and Bob Uhlman:I was correctly chastised for my response to you
about over analyzingand just told you to buy the boat and go sailing.  Some
on the listthought my comments about sailing over 1000 miles in 51 times
out wasbragging.  I was rude and I apologize.  What I tried to say--and I
ended up sayingit rudely and not 
> well--is that there are really no problems with theboat.  If you read the
list long enough you will feel that you need tobuy an expensive new folding
prop, a stainless steel prop shaft, newmotor mounts, a different anchor
windlass, a Honda generator, a fancyinverter, a new battery charger, new
hatches, new head hoses, etc.  Mypoint is that you DON'T.  In eight years I
have replaced the batterycharger, the roller furling, and two batteries and
the steeringquadrant.  That is it for "major" repairs.  No fancy prop, no
inventers,nothing fancy.Yet, in spite of this I sail my boat more than 90%
of the people on thelist either by days out or by mileage.  What I tried to
say, and again Iapologize for the rudeness, is that it is a great boat and
the best wayto judge that is to go sailing on one.  If you live anywhere
near SanFrancisco Bay I would be honored to personally apologize and take
yousailing.Adam-----Original Message-----From:

'C320-List'Subject: [C320-list] Prospective 320 buyerI'm considering buying
a 2001 Catalina 320. Can any current or formerCatalina 320 owners provide
me advice on items to consider when buying a2001 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!Barb and Bob
