Hi Cat.
I loved my first bigger boat, a Catalina 28 but I think the market is telling us that Catalinas are slower than most other yachts and their quality build is not as important as it was ten years ago.
They are dropping in price and will continue to do so as evidenced by the Catalina 30 that was on the market over the xmas period.
It was as new 2012 and still sold for around $100,000.
You could speak to Jay at Performance boating

^^^^ That would be a fantastic yacht to own. At $35,000 you could spend that much again updating and customising to your requirements and it would still be a bargain.

If a syndicate of 6 bought it with $10,000 each in the kitty and then all took it sailing weekly they could recoup their outlay by cancelling their gym memberships.

I've viewed it, go have a look yourself, Needs some TLC
PM me if you want more details

Ok fair.

So what does the brains trust think of the north shore 38s?

this one says setup for single handing. Which is become more of a focus for me. But I also assume a 38 would be a better platform for heading north.

How long do you reckon you could cruise in one of these before feeling claustrophobic? SYDNEY to Whitsundays, explore for a couple of weeks and return?

Buying a boat is often a compromise.

They are a very nice yacht, well built and good performance. Looks a bit underpowered at 25hp and is not set up for longer distance cruising in my opinion.

What's the point?
I don't know where we are going with this

Not everyone has a sense of humour.

It'd actually be interesting to know how this fire started, and more importantly, how they managed to stop it destroying the whole boat. Can anyone contribute info on this?

Good buying. Maybe you should ask a certain party in S.A. what his opinion is.
