C&C or Catalina
To the poster who asked how the 350 has been selling vs. the 36 Mk. II, I have no idea of the number of 36s, but I am aware of Catalina being up to Hull #248 on the 350. The boat was introduced in January 2002 in Atlantic City, so that''s roughly 250 per year. Catalina manufactures the boat in Florida, and started a second production line based on the demand.
I too am a 350 owner, sailing on the middle Chesapeake Bay. I chose the fully battened main and also have an asymmetrical spinnaker, which pushes me along quite nicely on light air days. I had 31 weeks of sailing available to me last year and I was out on the water---not sitting in the cockpit at the dock---one or more days for 28 of those weeks.
I have to laugh at all the vociferous debate about the 350 on this message board ever since the boat was introduced. Run it down if you want to, don''t buy it if you don''t like it. Who cares? I sure don''t.
