[C320-list] Catalina 320 discontinued

[wflowe3 at aim.com]

Have a friend with a a new 355. Not exactly a starter price at nearly 0.25 million dollars. The boat is beautiful, really comfortable (we had 11 folks in the cockpit, at the dock during a rained out wine tasting) but I'm not fond of the narrow decks and fractional rig. I'm waiting for an opportunity to have our boats near each other, on the same tack to see how they compare under sail. For my purposes, the 320 is the perfect boat and if they have been discontinued, my eventual selling price is gone up.

I am sorry to learn that many models are being discontinued. Regarding 

fractional rigs and the new measurement system, I can only say that if I wanted 

a Hunter or Beneteau, I would have bought one. I always believed that Catalina 

offered far more boat for the money in each model when compared to other brands.

At the Michigan City Boat show we were told there will be only 4 models

... 355, 385 (a redo (restating) of the 375) 445 and I think a 315.

They are also going to a fractional rig. I believe the 385 might be

the same hull as the 375 but is measured differently ... not the

fiberglass length (375) but the stem to stern length (385). Apparently

this is how the 'others' (i.e. Hunter, etc.) measure their boats. 



All of us in MC think it is huge mistake to cut the line so drastically.

The boat show pricing list only had 5 or 6 models listed, I can't

remember which.

I wonder which boats are left in their lineup. Can't tell by looking at

heir website, which is seldom updated. I have heard that both the 42 nd

400 have been discontinued.

	Yes Lew.

We were told the same at the Sydney boat show a few months ago.

Maybe we`ll all have to get 355`s

I was at the Newport boat show today. Catalina only had 2 boats on

display.

When I asked about the 320, I was told by Sharon Day, director of

marketing for Catalina that they have discontinued this model.
