Decision: Catalina or Bristol 22
Dirt:
Thank you for your reply. You make some interesting points about resale: namely that I might be able to get more for the Bristol, but will likely sit on it for a while while trying. Either boat will be a temporary fix, b/c I''ll likely be in the market for a 30 something in the next 5 years or so. I''m just looking for something to be able to escape for on a weekend.
Also, after seeing the Bristol and the Catalina up close and personal, the Catalina is in far better shape. With a coat of Awl Grip and some elbow grease on the teak, she''ll be good to go. The Bristol will, however, require a MAJOR refit. The hull is ok, but the deck will require some serious glass work to repair some nasty cracking. I''ll see how things pan out, but I''m leaning toward the Catalina.
Lastly, there''s got to be a ton of decent C22 used sails out there....
