I am looking at one of these boats and am interested in answers to the following questions from knowledgable individuals. I have owned a larger 30 ft. crusier in the past, but have been sailing a J-22(great boat) for the past 9 years. My wife misses the old Catalina 30 tall rig (another great boat) which we ordered from the factory and owned for 17 years. She doesn't really like the J22.
I am looking for compromise between the two. Something between in size but yet with performance. I won't do much racing, but would like to have a good sailing boat. Also, she wants some of the interior systems from the 30 days; i e, marine head, standing headroom, ice chest, etc. We will be sleeping on the boat only occasionally, mostly day sailing.
My questions are:
1. Does the boat sail to its rating of 174? Is it tender? Is a 135% headsail large enough for most wind conditions?
2. Can I get four middle aged adults in the cockpit comfortably?
2. Do these boats typically have deck leaks? I get concerned about balsa cores, but the deck looks good. Window leaks? Around the hatch?
3. Are the hulls stiff enough with the intergated structural lining? Any weak points in the hull? Any problems with keel to stub joint? Do the boats have a history of blisters? How was quality control in the mid eighties at C&C?
4. How do the plastic stanchion bases hold up? How about the hull to deck joint?
Any other comments from owners based on experience would be appreciated.
