Subject: Lurking around

I have been looking at getting another boat, its been over ten years since I sold the Catalina 30 and now its time to rebirth the sailing beast in me... I have been searching for a boat that has traditional lines and class, Mariners seem to fill the void that I long for. I am a coastal cruiser but havn't the fear to go beyond the California Channel Islands. I have seen a few 31's for sale in CA and next week I plan on taking a peek at one or two of them. I understand that some decks and cockpits have been rebuilt, hopefully I will stumble onto one of them. If and when I jump into a mariner I'll post it.
Thanks for this wonderful site it is very helpful.

Kurt

She pulled on my heartstrings hard enough for me to start a search here on the East Coast - and I bought Guillemot - If I were on the left coast like you, Hibou would be mine today!

I love that one however I have limited funds and very little vacation time so a trip up north is out of the question, otherwise Hibou would be sitting in Avalon Harbor this weekend. I am heading down to the marina today to look at a 31 I am not sure which one it is but I'll report later.

Hibou is still available. Asking $18K, we have $25K invested in her. No deck leaks, one cabin top leak. I have it covered trying to dry it out to repair it. The interior has been refinished, new wiring through out except for the engine instruments, hull has been repainted and the masts have been off and resealed and refinished. The sails are in good shape and the yellow color will make you noticed from afar. There's a story there.
