Driving her up is a bitch and well sailing her home would be a dream if I had a year or two to spare..:) Thanks for the offer however. Regards /ch

To bad you didn't buy my 34 III.......great boats those Cals are! My 1977 Cal 34 III was just purchased by a young man who knows his stuff and is taking her across the Atlantic to the Azores.....then next summer to St. Petersburg, Russia. Crazy if you ask me..................... The money was good! Good Luck!

kills me, it surely does. Is that trailer capable of hauling it cross-country?

Hey Marsh, Kills me too. I wish that I could drop it in a slip next to my other boat. Would that be great or what !!! Unfortunatly one has to go. Heck I payed 1500.00 cash for the darn thing. My wife says I need to watch my money a little better. As far as the trailer goes. It is home built, but, very sturdy. It has one flat out of the four. I found a source to buy four newer that will fit right on for a hundred bucks. Some bearing grease and another load strap. That should do it. I do not want to emply any warentee, but I would go for it. You know, Guarnteed around the world or out the driveway. Which ever comes first. I was hoping that someone local would pick it up and we all could cruise together. Either way I have to let it go. It is costing me monthly storage fee in the mean time.
