I backed out of the purchase of a Hunter 25.5 due to a convoluted ownership issue. Just as well. I picked up an 82 Catalina C22 in extremely good condition with a main and 3 jibs (2 are actually genoas) that were purchased new in 2020. No trailer but the owner is delivering it to my marina on Saturday. As a bonus, it has a bimini and a canvas skirt that goes around the pop-top. My avatar is a picture of the boat from last summer.

Congratulations. We had an '81, #10496, great boat. We trailered it up to Clear Lake from SF for many summers, stayed in the water there in a small marina. Because they wouldn't let you stay on the boat in the marina, we learned to anchor out. Great learning "tool." We dry sailed it in SF, and sailed the Bay, The Delta and even took it out past the Golden Gate bridge! You'll really enjoy that boat.

These pic are when the seller used the boat this past summer.
Nice Boat! So are your plans to cruise, race, or just play around with it? Are you planning to get a trailer to move it around or just keep it local on your lake?

Plans are to just cruise and play around. If I find the right deal on a trailer, I"ll consider it but Hartwell is 1,000 miles of shore line so there is a lot to explore for now.

I took possession of the boat today. It took all afternoon to step the mast and tune the rigging but we finished and launched to boat. Used the motor to take it to its new slip and buttoned it up. It was cold today.
