Would love a Catalina 275 test sail!

[Molokai]

I’m interested in purchasing a new or used Catalina 275. I’m in Hawaii and then traveling to Newport, Oregon mid December.

Would love a test sail!

Mahalo!

Suggest contacting local sailboat charter companies AND yacht clubs in Hawaii.

Called the factory and several brokers/charters (and as I suspected), there are no known 275(s) in Hawaii. Will travel to Windworks Yacht Sales, Seattle, Washington (https://www.windworksyachtsales.com/) which has Hull #50 (August 2019) possibly. It was 37F in Newport, Oregon this morning! Ha ha...need to find my hoodie and gloves.

Purchased an Oceanis 30.1 instead of the 275.

I am considering stepping down in size. The 30.1 is on the list. Nice looking!

* Larger swim platform (folding)
* B&G nav cluster on wheel pedestal (WiFi upload/download: charts, routes via app)
