I have sailed full size on the San Francisco Bay since 1981. Our first boat was a Catalina 27. I crewed on a Santa Cruz 27 for 3 years racing on the Bay. Got hooked on racing and bought a Capri 25. Our last boat was a Catalina 36 which we sold 3 years ago. I haven't sailed since and I'm anxious to start again. I have two kids in college, one graduating this June. The two tuitions I pay could have bought one hell of a boat! A Catalina 42 is the next one "I gotta have".
