As much as I hate to do it, going have to part with my C 320. We have purchased a motor home and, in my wife's eyes, it out ranks the boat, thus our summers will be spent in the mountains rather than on the water. I owned C 25 (fin) #4488 prior to getting the C 320 so I thought I'd post the sale here.

One of Catalina's finer sloops, the C 320 comes with virtually all equipment necessary to sail away as standard...and this yacht is loaded with options and extras. This boat is based on a high performance and high volume hull design which makes it light on the helm and track well under sail or power. It performs well in a variety of conditions.

Sounds great, and priced right. I've always liked the 320.

It is on Lake Tenkiller in far east Oklahoma...just north of I 40 and east of Muskogee. If you are figuring shipping costs, when I bought it, it cost $1,700 for a bottom job, shiping from Dallas to Lake Tenkiller, and recommissioning. Also, this is the largest Catalina that can be moved with a one ton 350/3500 series diesel pick up. Anything larger requires more truck.
