Catalina 27 vs Oday 272LE
I am currently looking at 2 boats to buy. A 1986 Catalina 27 and same age Oday 272LE. Both are wheel steer with diesel inboard models. There is a lot of literature available on the Catalina 27 around but relatively little on the Oday. I will be sailing the boat mainly on Lake St Clair in Michigan. I like the shoal draft of the Oday but does anyone have any experience with how they will handle in heavier winds since they are close to 1000 lbs lighter then the Catalina? Thank you.
