We had a successful survey on a 1987 Catalina 34 Fin Keel Tall rig.

We are naming here Eximius

(Latin for Special)

Bringing her home over the Memorial day weekend.

Wow! I almost jumped to a 30, but a 34 is really nice. I have a friend who leaned on my experience researching when he moved from a Hunter 25. He had pretty much settled on a C-30 MK 3 when he looked at a 34 on a whim - end of the 30.

Wonderful boat! Some old friends whom I taught to sail on our Sunfish (which they later bought) now have one. They went from Sunfish to C-22 to C-27 to C-30 to C-34... The latter was their first with a wheel! They live on her most of every summer.

Congrats!

Exactly!

This was the first boat that we actually went to view (the rest were virtual views).

The boat has 250 Watts of solar power and a nice fridge freezer to make ice for my drinks

We're heading up to Stuart tonight to splash Eximius in the morning at high tide and will be heading down to Fort Lauderdale over the weekend.

You'll need a Freightliner or Peterbuilt to tow her to your back yard!

As they say in show biz, "break a leg!" Glad you're moving up! I just saw a "new" C34 in the harbor this afternoon. Looked very cozy and comfy.

Cozy? Compared to the C-25/250, it's palatial!

Yepper.. I often think when I retire I'll do web work from a sailboat. ( if Facebook/social media doesn't take all the work ) I've been eyeing the new solar panels.. lots of power for a lot less money than in the past... Wonder when they will be able to run the AC.. (I guess when the cats have a hardtop covered with solar panels)

That looks like a really nice size boat.

You'll haft shoot some 360s for us if you ever get the time.

Anyhoo Congrats on the new office!
