A LOT of good boats had leaky ports. It's a pretty common problem not
particular in the least to Catalina.
Best Catalina is the 36. Prefer it over the 34 because it's lines are a bit
sweeter. I hardly consider the S&S 38 a "true" Catalina.
The 42 is also probably one of the best coastal liveaboard deals on the market.

I didn't know they had a short rig. I've
sailed these boats quite a bit, my only
complaint being, they are very slow compared
to their competition--like the O'Day 35.
This was in San Francisco Bay conditions
were there was plenty of wind.

Why the short rig Thom?
