The
biggest problems we encountered with the Catalina were the lack of
tankage and storage.




The most common complaint about the Catalina 27 and 30 for bigger
weather is the oversized companionway hatch. You really need to keep it
secured. I knew one fellow who had a one piece slab of lexan held in
place with SS pins on his C27. He had sailed the 27 to Florida from
City Island several times.

This is my Beneteau 35s5....next summer she'll finally get some short
trips in, the 1st to Block Island and the second to Martha's Vineyard.
I can't wait for Spring!
