Not directly related but I bought a set of of rope clutches from Garhauer for my Catalina 30. I was living in Southern California and they were local, so I drove over to their factory! What a great bunch of people!!! Nice to see a family run business that really cares about their products and were very helpful to a new boat owner trying to upgrade his boat. I even had a chance to talk for about a hour to the father who had started the business.

Gentlemen, Thanks for the help! Makes me happy I joined the site. Does anyone know what would be the issues (and approx costs) of shipping a C34 from Atlanta to Corpus Christi?

I'm actually planning on a similar purchase unless someone talks me out of it. I just moved to Austin, Texas from Southern California and figure the Gulf will give me some more experience. I was planning on sticking to the coast until ready and then trying to sail to England. There is a great story in "Good Old Boat" mag about beefing up a C36 for a little blue water sailing. I'm still having trouble finding a 80's C34 in anything better than fair shape. Let me know how you make out or if you change your mind.
