My Mary Gee, Finally in Brooklyn...

[RonE]

Wow what a process, selling one boat, buying another...
It was about 5 months of trying to first sell my fine Cape Dory 27, and then searching and narrowing
it down to a Catalina 34. The Mary Gee is a beauty, some little projects to do for sure, but what a great sail we had coming a across Raritan Bay New Jersey to her new home in Brooklyn. I was impressed with her stiffness as the afternoon southerly kicked in. I wished I sailed her all the way from North Carolina, but Atlantic Boat transport did a good job as did Sail Craft from Oriental, in setting her up...
Looking forward to some great sails in the remaining summer and fall...

RonE,
Welcome to the C34 family! Enjoy every moment you can spend sailing her, caring for her, and simply gazing at her!

Congratulations! I had a 27' C&C for a dozen years in City Island, Bronx, NY. Last year we moved up to Pleiades, hull #1076, a 1990 Catalina tall rig with a wing keel. My wife, kids, and I all agree that this is the perfect cruising boat for us. We do cruises up to 2 weeks out to Block Island and Newport, can do daysails with 8 or more people on board, and I single-hand it once a week. Our first full year has been great. I hope yours wil be, too.

Yeah..
We are just luving the boat...
A few issues here or there, but I expected as much.
Although I have only had her for less two months in the water, I
have learned much on how she responds to all kinds of sailing conditions..
She's sails fine in light air, and is stiff in a blow,,
Last week, on our forth overnighter to the Highlands (great place Skip)
we tacked across Raritan bay in a steady 10 to 12 south wind. She was so
well balanced that I bearly touched the helm. We sat on the deck in pristine
conditions as she sailed herself.. miles out of our way, it was magical.
What I luv most about the C34 is how much I am enjoying everybody else
who now wants to sail her. Just this past Saturday afternoon, we had 8
of us on board first for a 20+ knot sail and then a post sail diner with
plenty of wine and pumpkin ale.
Beautiful..
