"Ugh..." My family had a Catalina 30 when I was growing up, and pretty much everything in this post mirrors my childhood, down to the hand pumping of family bowel movements. My younger sister conveniently remembers EVERY memory, and has had no qualms at all about sharing them with pretty much *anyone* who asks. I got her back in advance though, by throwing her barbie out the V-birth hatch in 1989 while harbored in Catalina. Serves her right. Haha, when I read “24 foot” I thought.. “Ugh…”

My parents have since bought a 29 footer (conveniently years after my brother and I had stopped coming along on their yearly summer cruises) and that extra five feet makes a load of difference. However, the new boat is named Ambiance, which is far less badass then Nemesis. It'd almost be worth sacrificing the that extra berth for the cool factor of the name, in my image-obsessed opinion. 32 feet is a nice size.

Anytime you need backup, I'll let people know just how cramped 24' of sailboat really is. Heck, the last time Myg and I chartered something it was 32' and, though it was pretty damn nice for two people, it was far from the lap of luxury, despite having a head with a solid door and a latch.
