We had a Cat 27 for years... Atomic 4 and everything. :-) While I wouldn't
classify it as junk, it was definitely basic. It was a good teaching boat,
with a wheel, no furler, and not much else.

Dave, why don't you explain to all of us why the Catalina 27, one of
the most popular and well loved family sailors of all time, is junk.

I probably looked at 30 or more Cat 27s when I was looking. 80-90% had
delamination and wet deck core. Worse than that old P26 you're trying to
pedal. They were built to a price, and not bad as price boats. But they
were
not built to last.
