I would be interested in speaking with you about this sailboat. I am located in Broken Arrow and am looking at Cat 25's. I also need some more detail on your statement about the price.

Pricing justification -- $10,000 boat plus $3,000 motor less $2,000 bottom job allowance and $1,000 mainsail allowance (neither of which are absolutely necessary for freshwater cruising)

You can email with additional contact information. Also would like to view the boat in person.

Thanks

I think he means its really worth 13 K but he's giving you 3000 credit because the bottom needs work as does the mainsail....

Don - Sort of a combination of all three, but mostly up.

Mike - I sent you an email.

Duane - You are correct, and thanks for clarifying.

There's nothing wrong with the bottom, it's just not new and perfectly smooth. Fine for a cruiser that's not hypersensitive about quarter knots of speed. Same with the mainsail - although it is no longer crisp, it holds its shape just fine, especially since it flies loose-footed. All in all, she still puts a whoopin' on the other boats, except the real racers, when she's trimmed out properly. Good enough for the third place trophy sitting on my desk, anyway. ;-)

Mike (and others),

There may be a problem with the forum email functionality. I can be reached at jbmanley at yahoo dot com. Please send email directly, rather than through the forum.

Thanks,

No, I didn't receive it. Yahoo Mail seems to be having some problems these days, or the spam filter may have misclassified it. If you don't mind, please try again and I will scan my bulk folder to see if it ends up there. Sorry for the inconvenience, Mike.

Please welcome Mike and Tricia Davis to the Catalina family. I know that you'll enjoy their company as much as I did this past weekend.

I wanted to publicly thank JB for all his help during the sail and sale of his Catalina. We are pleased to be the new owners and will take very good care of her as JB has. We are new to this life and are looking forward to many years of fun sailing. We got our keelboat certification last fall, but had done some sailing before that. Not a lot, but enough to get hooked. My sister inlaw and her husband are sailing today from Virgin Gorda to St. Thomas, then on to San Juan. They have been in the Caribbean for over 14months on their 39' Island Packet. We had a chance to sail with them in March last year and enjoyed the experience. Nice to be included in the sailboat community now.

Hi Mike & Tricia,

Welcome to the group!

J.B. has been a tremendous asset to our Association, and I'm sure his boat is in tip top shape ... you're going to love her!

As for J.B. ... don't go anywhere ... we EXPECT you to stick around!

Ha ha ha! Mike and Tricia got to spend their first weekend on the boat grinding off the Bristol Finish that the stupid P.O. thought was the greatest product in the world, until wicking caused it to lift, yellow and flake after the first season.

Well, I've said it before, "Be extremely cautious about volunteering for a job that nobody else seems to want."

Yes, and in the same slip. Tricia and I are looking forward to many weekends exploring what the lake has to offer. We have friends that have a weekend home at Grove on the North end. We plan to sail up to their place and have a dock to hook up to while there.

Well as I found out last night there are allot of members around the Oklahoma area. I grew up on the weekend on Grand lake, my father sailed out of Arrowhead YC when the sailing on Grand was about at its peek. I learned to sail on a laser in the bottom part of Drownding Creek, I think there is still a J30 at our old dock. I was about 6 when my older brother got a Nacra 5.2 and I had no fear at all of getting out on the wire, what wild memories.

I am now over at Keystone at a club called Windycrest Sailing Club. Its a 30 min drive from our front door to the slip. We are very active in racing, and going up to the club on the weekends. Its almost like having a lake to yourself most of the time. Only really busy days are the holiday weekends about 40 boats out on the water.

Growing up on Grand and both of my brothers have power boats up at Hammerhead lends me the ability to have our boat somewhere else. Grand is just to busy for us. dealing with the lake lice (jet ski's) and the 50ft cruisers that throw the 5' wake behind the boats just made the move a little easier for us.

But man what a parting place. Good Memories

Capri25 - We did consider Keystone and attended the open house fish fry last year. We just happened to like Grand better for our needs. Maybe we will change our minds after we sail there for a while. We do plan to avoid the holiday weekends especially. We will probably go to the lake, but spend the time at the dock rather than in the crowd. And I am at a point where I have 4 weeks of vacation time...I should be able to get in quite a bit of quiet sailing during the week.
