We knew that the MC30 was the boat for us when we first saw it (and met Dick) at the St Pete boat show in 2000. It took us several years to get our life and geography to a place that we could have a boat - all the while looking for one that was better than the MC30. Nothing even came close, so when the time was right, we got our MC30.

I had a wonderful time sailing my Maine Cat 30 with Captain Ralph from New England to our home in Sarasota. We had a fast trip of 13 days with no anxiety during the rough weather. Although it was November, the roll-down curtains kept us comfortable even during the North'ers. When we got to warmer weather, it was a delight to roll up the curtains for the warm fresh air. The Strikeshield lightning rod will not quite make it under the railroad lift bridge on the cross Florida water way (Don't ask me how I know this) but it is nothing that a 2 minute trip up the mast can't fix. We are looking forward to cruising the Gulf of Mexico, Dry Tortugas, Bahamas, and maybe someday Cuba too.

We'd be happy to show our boat to anyone interested in the Sarasota area.
