Catalina 400 Sighting

According to one source, a Catalina 400 was spotted earlier today in Cuttyhunk Harbor.

Our sources report that it was not seen under sail, and it could not be determined whether the boat even had sails on it. We are also awaiting confirmation of the presence of two barbeque grills on the stern rails. Our sources said they have some photos, and will post them when available.

Also spotted in Cuttyhunk Harbor a boat that was marked as a Catalina Morgan 440. Why did Catalina and Morgan have a joint venture? Our sources tell us that Morgan was hoping to break into the lucrative floating BBQ market.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

sailingdog,

Is that Catalina loaded with explosives or something? Where there any people on board?
It isn't a ghost ship, I hope....

I frequent those same waters..

We're not sure... rumor has it that the Catalina 400 is a sailboat, but no one has yet reported seeing one under sail.

Look for the smoke in the harbor, it will probably lead you to the "boat".

Yes , yes it is true. Have photos hot off the press. A Catalina was spotted in Cuttyhunk Harbor with sails on it. Mind you I never saw it under sail and can not tell you how it got to Cuttyhunk Harbor. But I do have proof that it was there. As far as I know it was towed there some time in the past. There was a family living on it and they spoke like they were hillbilly back country folk. But was a little puzzling was that I only spotted one grill.[IMG][/IMG]

More pics to follow. Has anyone noticed that Cruisingdad has been missing for 5 days?

You're right Bj, Met up with them at the town dock and ask them when they sailed in. They said," sail?"

That's not a sail - that's an awning or at least that's the only way I've seen it used on the Cataleaner 400 in my area.
