All in all, unless this is just a weekender or daysailor, I would push you toward a 36 mkii. If it is a weekender/daysailor, you will love the 320 and how she sails. Brian

Unless I missed it, you didn't mention mention if any kids were involved. As his username implies the "Dad" may be pushing you towards the 36 for a "Family" cruise . My wife and I (no kids) had many 1 week cruises (usually 2 a year) and a couple of 2 week cruises in the 6 years we had a '99 C320 and space was never a problem. For us the Forward berth was just for storage and the aft Queen sized berth is larger than the C34's and the same as the C36. The Fridge on the C320 IIRC is also not matched until you go to the C36 or maybe even higher. The one thing they really did scrimp on though was the head. No fattys allowed ...... because you won't even be able to turn around

Hey Dad...... although I'm probably old enough to be yours.... Your retort reminded my that I forgot to add to my post that I always loved the C36 and even when I had my C320 I still lusted for one..... mostly for the reasons you mentioned . I got so involved with tooting the C320's horn (loved that boat) that I got a bit myopic .

Glenn, Go to the C320 site at http://www.catalina320.com/ , galleries, and mine is on the 3rd page. The site is under construction but there is a LOT of INFO out there.

Thank you Kevin for your comments on owning a 320. I am surprised that they made a 32 foot boat with a swing keel.Glenn

They Don't. I have to assume he added the 's' by mistake. My C320 was also the Wing Keel.
