Fantastic! This boat would make you wince if you sailed by her in your new boat with half the displacement, and three times the freeboard. I'm sure it would make you think twice!
Fantastic. I got a chance to spend time with Dick before he passed away. He told me his one concern with buyers of his boats was that they loaded them with too much weight for the design. I hope you keep it simple as you make improvements. Such a lovely boat. Thanks.
So fantastic. This helps us get over our cultural amnesia that anything old was any good, or worth recreating. Obviously, Catalina Yachts is not going to tool up for this. Luckily, it's still a boat you can build in your backyard. The tragedy is how few of them get built. Thanks again, Mike from Napa
