Loco's ready to POP!
Where is that roomy cockpit you've been talking about? Look at that
picture YOU posted. Three men fill that cockpit up.
There will be no stretching out in that cockpit. Not enough room for an
Adult to lay down.
The cockpit is larger than the Catalina 34 or 36 cockpit. We had 5
adults on board Tuesday and there was room for 2 more with ease. Down
below I can actually stand as the headroom is just over 6'4. Amazing
for a 35 footer and truly excellent for a racer/cruiser. The births are
over 7 feet in BOTH cabins. Few boats can manage the same. And finally,
the head is large enough for folks with long legs...the largest I've
seen on ANY sailboat under 40 feet. Deck space is made further friendly
by the fact that lines are run below. A clean deck will protect Thomas
and Mom's feet! The galley is secure, the seating area comfortable. The
nav station larger than the C&C 32's and many others I've seen. For
anyone over 6'2 it's the best layout I've seen for cruising in a 35
foot boat. Recently Catalina introduced the 350 which also has a cabin
friendly for taller folks.
Oh...and let's not forget the truly big swim platform with integrated
swim ladder! This is a perfect boat for tha family, especially on all
those light air days on the sound. Very few boats can match her feature
for feature and still perform...a few come to mind...C&C 34XL, C&C
99...both much more expensive. We came close to the C&C 99, but the
open transom didn't go with a toddler and the bunks were pretty tight.
After sailing this boat twice...and feeling the power and speed along
with the precise steering system....FORGETABOUT IT!!!!
35s5!!!
