Looking to buy a CAL 34 MKIII and wondered if there were any owners out there with some words of wisdom. What do you like about your CAL, what do you not like? I'll get a survy of course and a separate engine survey. Anything particular to look out for?

I'll likely be doing mostly if not exclusively coastal cruising based out of Beaufort, SC but would like to know what you think a CAL34 would handle as far as offshore capability? How well is this boat built compared to say a Hunter or Catalina. (not that the Hunter or Catalina is a benchmark but I would not generally consider them as offshore boats at least in this size range.)

Any special equipment or Mods that you have done that you consider a real plus? Any info would be appreciated

Thanks

"Auto ascending setup is an interesting idea, though it takes a bit of fiddling around to get it right. Once it's dialed in, it actually works quite well."

"Michael, From experience over three keel boats a fully battened main is almost a requirement. Not only will it make dropping the sail into the boom bag far easier it certainly reduces any flogging and vastly lengthens the life of the sail. While…"
