To all current or past owners of Catalina 22's with swing keel.
How good or bad does she handle in 3 to 5 foot waves?
I am wanting to do some coastal cruising, once I buy a boat, in Long Island Sound, Fishers Sound and generally off the Connecticut coast.
Worried if I venture too far from a safe harbor and get caught out in a storm the Cat 22 might not handle the rough conditions.
Also, I will be a beginner at sailing, thus, the idea is a Cat 22 to learn on and move up to a larger boat after a few years.
So...how does a Cat 22 handle 3 to 5 foot waves???
