[C320-list] BitterSweet....

[jim brown]

Jon, 

Don't just lurk. Your insight and comments have helped a lot of us and your 
knowledge of the 320 will probably stay around for at least a couple of years ;) 
It would be interesting to hear your thoughts comparing the 2 boats as you get 
familiar with the 355. Enjoy and keep in touch. After all we do hear from 
Orlando on occasion. 


Jim Brown

Jon,  Bob and I have enjoyed and appreciated your emails and input and will miss 

you.  Three years ago we left the C-28 group for our last boat, the C-320.  Best 

of luck.  Happy sailing.

Well after almost 13 years with my beloved Solstice, I have decided to move
n to what will be our last boat. We purchased the new 355 last night.
lthough I am excited about the new boat, I'm also a bit sad to be giving up
y beloved 320. Part of what made owning the 320 so special is this
ommunity. I have been a part of this list since 1999 and while researching
he boat at the time, this amazing resource helped me make the decision to
urchase her. I have made many friends on this list over the years, and had
he privilege of meeting some of you. The collective knowledge of this
esource definitely made my 320 exponentially better.

I will be in uncharted waters, knowing I don't have knowledgeable owners to
ean on, as this is hull #17 and there is no C355 association yet. I am well
ware of the risk of getting into a new design, but I am a Catalina guy
hrough and through (I even had the opportunity to query GD on some design
uestions I had), so hopefully this will be another successful sister in the
atalina line..I will continue to lurk and offer up my two cents on the 320
nd hopefully stay in touch with many of you...Thank you all for your
aluable insights and willingness to share your collective knowledge over
he years. Whoever purchases this boat will be the beneficiary of many of
he upgrades and fixes this list provided!

Regards,
