It really is amazing, the number of Catalina 27's in all the local marinas and so few race. I am the only 27 that sails the DRYA series regularly. I have had great success, ended up 2nd overall in Cr. PERF last year. It sure is a lot of fun beating the likes of an X40 or a Farr. Just would like a little more one design type of compition instead of figuring out the results on a computer.
