1976 Catalina 27
Perfect for cruising or racing. This was the big boat of it's time, and
still an excellent boat for family and friends. Already on the water @
Lake Grapevine. Very clean. Manual included!

Jib, 125, & 150 Genoa I believe). Former race sails still good for any
occasion. In very usable condition, some may need minor repair.
This boat is laid out with all the lines led to the cockpit. 6 big
monster winches, Barlow 22's & Barlow 16's.

Hi David,
I just sold the boat for $3,000. It is getting pulled out today.
The ad on your site, sailing Texas, did generate a lot of traffic. I got a note from someone in Austin on Friday & sold it to him that day. I have received another 3 inquiries about the boat since then.
The main problem with the boat, and why I had priced it so low, was delamination of the cabin top & port side at the eye-bolts.
I am surprised how many people were new to sailing, and this was one of the first boats they considered.
Boat Transporter. A lot of folks asked about this. (A lot asked if a trailer was included! at that price?)
Robert Cummings, Cummings Marine in Dallas. 214.341.1626.
He did the bottom on my friend Jim's Santana 30/30 & moved it to Grapevine. Jim is very happy with the work.
Robert's dad was a sail maker, and my friend David won his 1st two Catalina 22 Nationals using Bob's sails. Anyway - highly recommended.
I did ask Robert about 2 other locations for people. Ball park figures, without Robert seeing the boat:
To move it from Lake Grapevine to nearby Lake Lewisville, with a new bottom job, is $1,800.
A very rough figure to Port Arthur is $1500 for transport, plus $1,000(?) for the bottom. So ~$2,500 to have a shiny bottom and in your slip?
The local shop on Grapevine, Taylor Marine, quoted another C27 $1,800+ for the bottom alone.
Thanks for all your help David.
Cheers, john.
