#24, "Ebb Tide", Robert and Laura Heatley, Oklahoma City Boat Club, rheatley1@cox.net, 1975 Mark I, SR, Fin Keel, 150% Genoa on a Harken Furler, Universal Atomic 4 w/2 blade prop, Harken Lazy-Jacks, Edson steering.  This boat is in beautiful condition and originated on the East Coast.  The boats name, Ebb Tide, Wilmington, Delaware, is printed on the stern and was bought and shipped by truck from Oakdale, New York, by the former owner, sight un-seen.  At this time, Ebb Tide is being re-rigged with new shrouds and spreaders and is being readied for racing at the Oklahoma City Boat Club.  Although the displacement is approx. 12000#, Ebb Tide is exceptionally light on the wheel with lots of 'feel' of the rudder.  It handles like a canoe.  We bought Ebb Tide in Nov. 2004 and our other boat is a Catalina 27.  When Laura first came aboard, she went below, looked around and said: "I think that I'll let you keep this one!".

#0101, Orca Loca (formerly Agua), Frank and Cathleen DuBois, Deale, MD, no web, 1975, Mark I, SR,Fin, Hank on jib, Yanmar 11HP Diesel, Standard Prop
I found Orca in 1999, semi abandoned in the water in Solomon's, MD.  She had not been sailed  or hauled in quite a few years and it showed (her MD registration was dated 1991). She was berthed next to a stand of trees which filled the cockpit with leaves every fall, blocked the scuppers and flooded the cabin.  There are water stains about 10 inches up the interior paneling. The interior was a mess and had to be pressure washed thanks to the lack of ventilation over numerous summers. I've since done major blister work on the bottom including epoxy barrier coat, redone the rigging, new injector and head job on the Diesel (which started right up) rebuilt the pedestal and am now working on the interior (including plumbing) and running rigging.  Lots more to go and I'm not sure that the effort to pleasure ratio makes sense but I enjoy the project.

We are the second owners of FatCat.  We bought her in 1991 to move up from a 25' trailer sailor.  We wanted a bigger, stiffer more comfortable boat for more than weekend trips.  Going from 8' of beam to almost 11' she seemed like a real fat Catalina, thus the name. We have had her as far north as the north end of Vancouver Island, BC and hope to make it to Glacier Bay some year, but not until we have propane, a better heater and I find all the window leaks according to the admiral.  Would also like to truck her to Florida, the Great Lakes and the east coast some time in the future.

RHEALUTHIEN still has her wooden spreaders which are in good shape but are due to be replaced.  She also has a roller fuller head sail.  We are learning how to cruise after spending most of my past racing around the buoys.

 Purchased Makama Wa 3 years ago when our family of 5 children outgrew our 19 foot pocket cruiser.  We've since enjoyed sailing her from Salem MA to the Isles of Shoals in New Hampshire and look forward to longer cruises to Boston, Cape Cod and the Maine Coast. I particularly like her big boat feel and stability.  She's pretty maneuverable and fast too. (I never passed anybody sailing our little boat "Precious Moments"). 
Incidentally, "Makama Wa" is the closest Hawaiian translation I could find to "Precious Moments".

We just purchased "Clew" this summer and are still on a sharp learning curve (our first boat). We've found the boat to be very easy to sail and also very forgiving. The Tech Talk manual has been a valuable resource for information on upgrades, modifications and systems maintenance and we advise all owners to seriously consider purchasing one (it'll save you BIG bucks). Clew had been wisely upgraded by the previous owners and extremely well maintained over the past 25 years.

Wonderful boat in fabulous condition.  The A-4 purrs like a kitten and the sails look like new.  The teak interior has aged well and is kept oiled, not varnished.  With the exception of a Harken roller-furling system, very little has been modified on the boat.  A real joy to sail!

We are the second owners, having purchased the boat in 1995 from the original owner, Joe Mitchell.  Mr. Mitchell was very active with the King Harbor Yacht Club (KHYC), and he had sold his boat to us due to his wife's declining health.  We learned on a sail to Catalina last year, that both of the Mitchells have passed away.  The Mitchell's were proud of their Irish heritage, and the unique color scheme and decoration of our vessel, Ruille Buille remains in their original vision.  All canvas colors are in green, and the Genoa has green and orange panels, reminiscent of the Irish national flag.  Our sailboat is in very good shape for one that has been in constant use for 25 years.  Most of the gear is original, except the engine.  Mr. Mitchell was very diligent on record keeping... he passed along receipts for EVERYTHING he ever spent on the boat... including his original purchase bill!  The name Ruillie Buille, as was told to us by Mr. Mitchell, is Irish Gaelic for "confusion"... a very apt description we have been told... for those boat guests who had participated in their many parties onboard.  This boat has a lot of love and history.

This is our first boat. We now have 3 full seasons of experience and are finally starting to feel comfortable with our boat handling abilities in most conditions. We can also hold our own in competition.

#0700, Foo  (my youngest daughter's nickname) Lake Charles, Louisiana dledoux2@earthlink.net 1977, Mark I standard rig, fin keel, Main, 150 genny, 130 genny, spinnaker Atomic 4 with original prop (soon to upgrade the engine with electronic ignition and a new prop.) 
After months of looking for an older boat for me and the kids, I finally settled on this one.  I closed the deal on 11/22/02 and sailed that afternoon from Kemah, Texas.  We enjoyed a windless motor through Galveston bay.  The wind picked up upon exiting the Galveston Bay, and we had an exhilarating (15-20 kt. winds and 4-6 foot seas and a close reach all the way!) nighttime passage from Galveston to Port Arthur TX, then a nice leisurely motor from Port Arthur to Lake Charles via the Intercostals Waterway and the Calcasieu ship channel.
I bought an older boat knowing that it entails a lot of little things to bring it up to good condition, but this one started out in sailing condition and I don't mind house-keeping.  I do find the boat is comfortable, although a bit squirrelly while motoring.  Under sail, I found that a decent trim and you can lock the rudder down and it will hunt plus or minus ten degrees all night by itself.  The rig (upgraded by previous owners for racing) is easy to use for relative novices such as myself.  I've sailed dinghies for years.  This is my first "big" boat.  It's hoot!

This is my 2nd C30 - I just bought her and has been getting a lot of the TLC she's been needing for some time.  She had been a live aboard in San Diego and ended up being somewhat misused.  Just rewired adding a new breaker panel and other misc electrical items, rebuilt the head and replaced the hoses, have been caring for the interior teak plus a number of other jobs.  She's really starting to shape up.

#0873, Paradise, Dennis Jackson, Coronado CA, djackson@san.rr.com, 1977, Mark 1, SR, Fin, Main-Jib-160% Genoa, Atomic 4, 2 Blade. I have the good fortune to be the original purchaser/owner of this boat. Except for a few pieces of exterior teak wood, she is all original including the sails (made by North Sails of San Diego). The engine has accrued 650+ hours  without any failures (and less than stellar maintenance plus a few owner induced salt water inductions). Custom installations include an Allen Pedestal Steerer (not cables in the system to break or jump off quadrants). The interior is all teak; I removed the oiled finish in the late 80's  and applied satin finish Flecto Varathane - it still has a  beautiful, soft & warm look that has only required occasional dusting. The only down-sides to her is that the gel coat is a bit dull (and now thin due to the required ru-outs/polishing) and the continuous formation of what I prefer to call speed bumps (others, less enlightened, call them blisters). I look forward to another 25 years with her but she will need new keel bolts to get that far (and I'll probably need a few parts repaired/replaced too).

We found her in May, 2001, using the net. She is our first-owned boat, and her previous owner(s) took great care of her. She's drop-dead gorgeous and came at such a good price that we're going to make Frank Butler proud (but hopefully not too much richer) by giving her everything she needs to make her the sweetest coastal cruiser in SO CAL.
