I am currently looking at buying either s Celestial 48 or Venus 46 to do some blue water cruising and would be very interested in any feed back people could offer on either of these boats.

Hi David,
I have a Celestial 48. Be happy to tell you about it.

Don''t know if you made a decision yet, but our Celestial has been a very good boat. It has two Atlantic passages and a long beat up from Panama. I would recommend it highly.

Jim,
Where are you located?

We live in Dana Point Ca. We have had our boat for 10 years, we are hull #18 and it''s a cutter rig built in 1985. We will be leaving for a week, so keep me posted.

We cruised on a Celestial (ketch rigged) and loved the boat. It is beautiful and strong. The layout is livable and spacious. Let me know if you have any questions. I answered several for "ikent" and there may be a record somewhere. I would be interested to know what hull number you are considering.

We''re hull #7. We''re on a mooring in Newport Beach. Will be in Catalina (Isthmus) next weekend if you''re around.
