[TJ]

I am a novice sailor and preparring to purchase my first boat. I have recently been comparing the Catalina 30 to the Endeavour 32 and would like everyones opions between these 2 models (considering they were around the same year & basic condition).Thanks so!T.

We sail a C30, our buddy sails an E32 -

We have sailed on his E32 many times. We like the C30 overall. It's roomier because it's beamier,although the interior finish work on the E32 may be somewhat better (and that's debatable). The C30 points and goes to weather better although she's not as fast. She's also dryer. Engine and systems access is much better on the C30. Tankage is more on the E32. Galley on the C30 is better and so is storage. Tough choice - good luck!
