[C320-list] Catalina 320 discontinued

[Warren Updike]

I keep our 320 in good condition for our sake.  I'll accept the next owners
thanks graciously.  I'll be much happier if he pays me for it.  (:>)

However,  with a good 1500 hulls out there the 320 isn't going anywhere and
there will be plenty of C320's out there for new owners.

Since it appears that Catalina is a build-to-order company these days, maybe
"discontinued" is not so cast in stone?  Don't know.

The possible upside of this news is that our boats should maybe hold their
value a little better?  If anyone wants one, there are a finite number of
them and buying used might be the only way to get one?

If we decide to stick with sailing, then maybe it won't be as difficult to
sell the boat and move to something else.

So... Take good care of your boat.  The next owner will thank you for it..
-Jeff

Sheesh, they used to go all the way down to an 8' 'Sabot'.  Sounds like
they're only catering to cruisers.  Those who can't drop $100K + on a new
boat won't be buying Catalina.
