All,
My Catalina 27 was recently hit by another boat which dragged its
mooring and occured some damage on the hull/deck joint on the starboard
side as well as a the stern pullpit rail. The insurance has agreed to
pay for some of the repairs, the fiberglass damage is not structural and
can be repaired, the stern rail can most likely be repaired VS replacing
with a new one and the genoa track might have to be replaced.
although I enjoy the boat a great deal, we do not get to sail as much as
we would like to as we have a 20 month old baby which takes up most of
our leasure time for now. For that reason I am considering selling the
boat as is for around $3000 without repairing it or donating it to
charity and use the tax write off which according to a recent survey
estimates the value at $7500.
Asides from the recent damage, the boat is in overhaull good condition,
includes two sails (main and genoa), roller furler, two batteries, newer
interior cushions, atomic 4 (runs fine).
Has anyone been in the same situation? Any input welcome.
Stephan
