Well, when you're cruising you will spend most of your time at anchor, but few cruising cats sail well, and sailing well is part of the attraction for me. And cats are expensive. I have a friend who is cruising his C&C 40 CB around the West Indies as we speak, and I know of a C&C 40 with a bobbed keel for sail in Guatemala that could be had for low money and looks to be in pretty decent shape. Whatever you decide, it's a terrific buyer's market right now. Andy C&C 40 Peregrine
