Your the main boat basher. I just offered an opinion
on some better alternatives in 25' boats.

No, you didn't. Your post is below. It's bashing a boat you've never sailed.

Great for camping. If you want to sail buy a Merit 25 or an Olson 25.

The Catailina 250 is a fine boat for someone who's seeking greater comfort and
a more forgiving platform for a family. You must also think Doug's boat was
dumb as well. Why not challenge his comments about the 250? Problem is, Loco,
you're a coward and a fool.
Calling the Catalina a "camping" boat that can't sail only proves it. You're
probably just upset that like me, the fellow will have a modern boat while you
sail a dead design dinosaur.

dinosaur.

I guess that's why we are first to cross the finish line so often.

How often? There were very few built. Most people never heard of it. Catalina's
of the same vintage have better value and are worth more. So do O'Days. Look it
up.

Once again you prove that you have dyslexia. In my post I said we. I sais
we were first to cross the finish line often. I can't account for other boats.
I can tell you that 2 different Express 30s have been high point champions on
the Chesapeak Bay 5 different times. The C&C 34XL or any other version of that
boat have never won that award once. Suck it up dipwad.
BTW many people don't race 1 design since any of the popular boats in their
area may not fit their needs in other respects. Your such a putz.

Poor Loco. Sailing handicapped is a joke. Sail boat to boat, one design and
maybe you prove something. I see more Catalina's winning in the USA than
Express by a HUGE margin!

Are you saying that the 34R is not a winning boat? Are you aware that the XL is
that design outfitted to a cruisable version?
Shall I link you to the hullform/spec comparison? I guess If I wanted to race,
I'd buy a 34R. No thanks! Enjoy your ancient boat!

You lose...AGAIN!

**** you don't even know anything about the boat your (?) buying. The XL stood
for Extra Light. It was C&Cs attempt to combine some of the features of the R
with features of the cruise model to make a better dual purpose boat. A race
boat. I know the boat. Also I never said it wasn't a "winning" boat. Go back
and read again. You always have to do that lately. I said it (in any version)
has never won high point on the Chesapeak Bay. A tough feat to accomplish.
But hey Express 30s have won the award 5 times and a 35 has won more than once.
Maybe the 34R, XL or whatever - has been a winner in your little corner of the
world. The Chesapeak is pretty competitive. Bring that thing down here. Oh
that's right you only "race" people who don't know they are racing.

What a stupid comment. 80 Express 30s were made comparied to how many
Catalinas? The other stupid part about your comment is if your seeing a bunch
of Catalina wins it's because of the 27. Many people race the 27. I have
NEVER seen a Catalina 30 on the race course except with the possible exception
of some non spinnaker fun race.

80 boats!!! Bwahahahahaha! So you bought a boat that can only race handicap,
yet you "claim" it comes in first all the time, wins more races and so on!
What a joke. I had no idea the boat had been such a failure. I have a lot of
friends who race loco and do so year round. They ALL own boats that can race
and do race one design.
You just can't win!

So you compete in the non-fun race class?

Bwahahahaha! This IS fun!
