I agree with Rick's comments. We were out on a friend's Catalina 42 last
weekend, and while it was clearly voluminous down below, the lack of handholds
was very noticeable. His is probably a late-80s, early 90's boat.
That said, I wasn't going to say anything... :)

{}#yiv4979407916 I have to agree with Joe about the interior volume of the
CatBenHun boats. Wide beam carried well aft on the newer designs makes for lots
of interior room. Much more than on any of the boats designed in the 1980s.
That said, none of the newer Catalinas or Hunters I’ve been aboard (which
includes several models from 33 to about 45 feet) seem to be set up as good sea
boats. Few hand holds, few fiddles, big spaces between the cabinets. A local
Catalina 42 Mk2 owner has stopped taking his boat out on Pamlico Sound when the
wind is forecast to be above 15 knots because he and his wife were tired of
getting uncomfortable and bouncing around the interior when underweigh. (The
Sound averages only about 20 feet deep and develops a significant, short chop
at 20 knots and above. A Donzi 33 came into my marina yesterday from across the
Sound; they said they had to turn back twice because of the chop, and it was
blowing 8 to 12.) I suspect the better description of the boats I’ve been
aboard would be “Dock Condo” instead of “Cruising Boat”. Rick BrassWashington,

Subject: Re: Stus-List 1983 C&C 35 mark 3 new purchase If you look at any
recent CatBenHun in the 34-36 foot range, any version of the C&C 35 is going to
seem quite small and cramped. Any of the 35s will of course sail 10x better,
but that does not always matter to some people.Warning - the "have to have it"
aft double bunk under the cockpit is a long way from the air coming down the
forward hatch and right next to the hot engine. It may not be the cruising
paradise your wife thinks it is ;) JoeCoquinaC&C 35 MK I
