Steve,
Kerry already won the “Name that
Tune” competition, but to answer your question more directly, I bought a
Catalina 27 tall/Stockton rig (a tall rig with the boom lowered another foot
and a half for increased sail area).
So far, I’ve been working on her a lot and sailing her a little,
but both are a lot of fun!
Just completed a haul-out where her bottom received a sand blasting, fairing,
epoxy barrier coat, bottom paint, and new thru-hulls. Currently the mast is down and I’m
installing new rigging, spreader bracket, VHF antenna, halyards, sheaves, and
Windex. On the deck, I’m retrofitting the chain plates with the newer
U-Bolt style for greater strength (I don’t always reef down when I’m
supposed to). Other than that
(and a dozen other minor projects) the boat’s really in nice condition.
Fair winds,

To answer your p.s. question; no,
I'm not getting a Nor'Sea 27. My
heart says yes, but my admiral says no! Think more along the lines of
"26 miles across the sea..." ;) I know, it's kinda like dumping
the
homecoming queen in favor of the smartest girl in Home Ec.
