So you decide. They are both decent boats, but if you are doing
sailing for sailing's sake, the 9.6 is the better deal by far. If the
C. 30 is your first cruising boat, go that way. Neither boat is wrong,
just less or more right for you.

And then you might want to look at good Pearson 30, a boat that outsails the
Catalina as well and is better put togther than either. Average cost = 15K.
