We sail a 1982 Catalina 25 on Lake St Clair and when the wake from large power boats hits, the 25 bounces around like a cork, spoiling the experience for my wife and even making me nervous.
We are planning to move up to a larger boat for day sailing and weekending and the prime consideration is a boat that would provide a smoother ride in rough water.
I would appreciate the opinion of Catalina owners who have experience with both a Catalina 25 and larger Catalina boats. Some of the possibilities we are considering are mid 90’s-early 2000 Catalina 310, 320, 34mkII, 350, 36mkII.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as we are new to sailing this season. Thanks.
