I'm not saying that you couldn't do the Baja HaHa.
However, the Baja Ha Ha is a trip of 750 miles with most of it a good distance offshore. It isn't coastal cruising and the Catalina 30 is a coastal cruiser, not a bluewater boat.
Most people I know that have sailed a Catalina 30 probably would not pick it for a passage of that length or distance off-shore. The Baja Ha Ha only makes two stops in its 750 mile distance. Of the Baja Ha Ha's 2000-2008, I believe that only five Catalina 30s have made the trip, although six or seven were signed up.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
