The Order

I attended the boat show with a view to seeing what sort of deal could be struck with a successful outcome.

Last day of the Sydney Boat Show, 7th August 2007, and the order for a new Catalina C320 Mk II is signed with the Australian Catalina agent looking as pleased as I was.

The Dream

Many years of Sydney Boat Show visits, much reading and hanging out on the C320 owners email list crystalised the dream into the form of a Catalina C320.  After unsuccessfully scouring the secondhand market for a suitable recent example, the favourable currency exchange rates and the introduction of the Mk II model brought on the decision to possibly getting a brand new boat!
