For Those Who Know Sailboats

I went and looked at it, and for it's age, it's immaculate. He acts as he'll come down a little. Thanks. They are nice boats. I had one in Puget Sound. I would recommend learning to sail on something smaller first. S I sail with a 21 ft swing keel much like this one. I have no experience with the Catalina 22 but suspect it would be very similar in most respects to mine. I taught myself to sail on my own boat then took lessons on a smaller Lazer. The difference between the two is enough for me to say that an older person may be turned off sailing by the smaller boats. You and your wife should find the 22 an easy boat to learn and sail. You have to realize there are limitations with a boat like this, it is not a blue water cruiser by any means. I have no difficulty trailering, launching and sailing my boat singlehanded. Look around a bit, do a little comparing. There are a lot of boats on the market. If you still like it and it gets a thumbs up from your surveyor then go for it. If it gets you in the wife's good books it's a no brainer. LdB |
