[C320-list] Catalina 320 discontinued

[Warren Updike]

Interesting point about measuring length.  Marinas charge by the foot of
length overall including bow projections and dinghy davits.  I've always
gotten away with 32 ft. easily as the name "320" avoided questions.  Adding
10' is another $20-30, not that that would put us in the poor house; but,
who wants to pay more if less is acceptable?

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.

 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.
