[C320-list] Horsepower?

[Jack McDonough]

Does anyone else think it's strange that the new Catalina 355 has, according to Sail magazine, a Yanmar diesel engine with only a 29 horsepower rating?  

According to the specs in Sail , the displacement weight of the wing keel 355 is 14,800 pounds. My wing keel 320 is 11,700 pounds -- 3,100 pounds less -- and I have a 27 hp Yanmar. 

The 375, which weighs 16,500, has a 40 horse engine.
