			<description><![CDATA[ I hope you dont mind my posting on your site.. I have been reading your posts and I have been looking with my broker at C42s for a while now. To date the largest boat I have sailed single handed was an Oday 31 so the size of the C42 is somewhat intimidating but not undaunting.<br>
            Currently own a C27 and sail out of Annapolis. <br>
            <br>
            I was wondering what other C42s owners last boat was before the C42 and what I might expect taking that large of a jump in... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ We are buying a 1989, 3 cabin, 42 in the next few weeks.  In addition to a complete survey, are there any issues / areas of concern / wear areas I should look for in the boat.  <br>
            Thanks to everyone so far for the great advice and cautions.  The boat we now have under contract is in Annapolis, and we (at this point) will be using local surveyor David Manning.  If anyone has experience or can recommend a good one, please let me know. We will certainly take great care to check out... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi,  We are waiting for our new C42...and waiting and waiting...  Have other Catalina owners had delay after delay once they placed an order for a new boat?  We were initially told it would arrive 4-5 months after we placed the order with our broker, and now it looks like we may get it 9 months later.  We aren't really happy and are just wondering if anyone else had this experience.<br>

            Last fall my father past away and left us his Cat 42'.  It was originally bought in 93 and was in both the Toronto boat show and the Annapolis boat show.  Over the years, my parents weren't as capable of taking care of the boat, therefore is a bit (a lot) neglected.  This past summer we have spent the majority of the time cleaning, arranging, replacing and complaining.<br>... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <br>
            Hello All:<br>
            <br>
            I'm looking into the possibility of buying or chartering a Catalina 42 or 34 to tour the Med for 6-12 months with my family of four, but have so far been fairly mystified by the range of equipment options I see on boats for sale. Does anyone know of a solid, current book or article that lays out what someone with my intentions does and does not need on a cruising Catalina in terms of perks and add-ons? I don't want to pay for gear I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi folks. I have a Cat 36 but am dreaming of a 42 for it's liveability and, well, because it's gorgeous. I handle my 36 just fine. No problems docking or sailing, even singlehanded (I just take things slowly and leave myself lots of room...autopilot helps, too). However, when I board a 42 and stand at the wheel, it just seems SOOO BIG. Maybe it's the width of the stern throwing me off, because I know it's only 6 feet longer. Can any of you who have traded up to a 42 from a 36 please list the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Noticed a very obscure mention of the upcoming release of the 440DS Catalina Morgan deck salon in a Massey ad in Sail Mag.  There was some discussions on one of the forums as to whether the Deck Salon would be released as a Catalina or a Morgan product.  Looks like it will be dual titled.  Anyone seen anything on the new configuration yet? ]]></description>

            1. Does the Pullman berth get enough air? We love air and are used to a cool breeze with the v-berth.<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ Signed the paperwork this week.  A new C42 3 cabin is on its way to the northwest.  We should see it in September.<br>
            <br>
            The sale of our C30 closed yesterday.  It's going to be really weird to be without a boat for a few months.<br>
            <br>
            On the bright side, we just got back from a trip up the Gulf Islands to Nanaimo and had a great time.  It was a good final trip on the old boat.<br>
