I spent some time today with the owner of an '04 C250WK. Some of his comments confused me, and I am wondering if I misunderstood him, and if his experiences are shared with others who have the C250WK. I am trying to decide between the C250WK and a new Hunter 25, if you have the patience for what is probably a repeat question, please help me here...

1.) He says that in 20 knots of wind with half furled 135 and two (!) reefs, he has trouble with his boat rounding up out of control unless he pops the main sheet. I thought this problem was fixed by Catalina in later models, but he has an '04.

2.) His boat may of had some rigging changes he does not know about. His winches have been move back to 3/4 of the way aft on the cockpit rail for example. Anyway, on his boat, his 135 is rigged outside of the shrouds, but if he furls it part way, it rubs on the shrouds. Is this normal? He speculates that with a 110, it would have to be lead inside the shrouds... He also thinks (from pictures) that the jib traveler (can't remember the proper name) on each side is in a different position, further away from the centerline of the boat, on newer ('05) boats. Anyone aware of changes like this recently from the factory?

Thanks,

Kevin
