[C320-list] Catalina 320 discontinued

Yes and that measurement thing is a double edged sword. 



My C&C 29 was actually 28.5 feet. 



So the way I see it, its payback time.

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.
