Well finally made it out and saw the C310 and it had zero issues and was in very well loved and cared for. The owner said they believe the first owner was the president of Catalina Owners group and the records and log of everything done was impressive. The current owner admits they are not a serious sailors but do love boating and own a fishing boat. The only issue I noticed was the running rigging is old and some needs replacement. Sails are original and look fine on the dock, probably ok but will be on my list if it checks out and we move forward .

Engine was neat and clean, bilge had some water, boat has factory AC and heat, several nice upgrades include all LED lighting in cabin, Bose speeakers inside and all working Raymarine instruments and autopilot. Stove and table are removed but are available. Stove was removed to add more storage and table for more room. They have both a large and small table top.

Outside condition was good, but has some bumps and bruises and needs a solid polish. No leaks inside and with all the rain we had in Feb there would have been some stains and signs. I'm excited on the boat but really need to get the price down at least 5k.

So after our adventure of looking at a C34 and deciding it was too dated we decided to move on and not really look. Then I was told about a C310 for sale on our lake and got the details and will check it out next weekend.

My wife liked the pics of the inside, and the Vberth should be a big selling point when she sees it in person. Condition is everything and on the surface looks well maintained.

The details are seller is the second owner since 2014, always freshwated in KY and now AL. Factory air and heat with new water pump, new batteries and charger, 600 hours on motor, everything works and owner has made sure nothing is broken. They are selling since they are not as active on it and mostly used it to motor around the lake. Sails sound original, he wasn't sure if original owner replaced them. I'll look but what was the manufactor of OEM sails would be helpful.

Done some reseach, know about chain plate leaks, compression post being short, and the exhaust elbow being too close to the bulkhead. Will keep reading up this week to get smarter. Price seems high to me at $59,500, especially if sails are original and need replacement. Still could be fun and it is close so that is a major plus.

I’m working on upgrading from

I’m loooking at one close to that price in my lake but owner financed.

Nice, soo today is probably my last day of owning our 310. RoseLeigh has been wonderful boat and the memories over the pas 6 years have been awesome.

Since my father got ill 3 years ago and suddenly past away in 6 months after, then having a lot to help for my Mom because they had had been married over 55 years. Then life changes in what we can do with limited weekends, it was time to let her go to a new family. Very mixed feelings about this and I almost said I changed my mind this past week.

I've shared my log here with the future owner and we meet at the boat in a few hours. Hopefully all goes well, but it is not a happy day to me, sad to let her go but knew it was time.

It is official, RoseLeigh has a new owner and family to make memories with It wasn't an easy decision and I honestlwould have been happy if they back out. But it looks like they will love one of the nicest and cleanest boats on our lake.

I'm not sure future plans right now so will be boat less for the future as other life plans get worked out. I'll stick around SBO and all the awesome help I've gotten over the years. I don't think this is the end of my sailboat journey, but a pause for a bit to see what makes sense for the future.
