C&C or Catalina

John,
Your Hunter 26 may be rated for its "At rest" characteristics, but a CE-A rating for Catalinas bigger than 30'' is more about "at sea" characteristics. I have been studying the big 3 for almost 2 years and I have come to the undisputed conclusion that Catalina is the way to go. Benes rust and don''t match US parts(Replacement wise). Hunters are wimpy. CE- ratings are much more than comfort levels. Can your Hunter 26 take force 8 winds and 13'' seas? Thats what CE-A means. Maybe your boat is CE- B.
