[PCW] Maryland 37

[djogerst at bellsouth.net]

Phillipe,  George had the following comments on French built Cats.  His experience was with a Cantana 44 Sailcat.  Electric wires nor tinned, nonstandard electrical boards, metric hardware,poorly installed refrigeration, cored hulls, saltwater intrusion, no builtin hardspots where thru hulls were located, and excessive use of stikaflex were identified. Scary, if true. No? Dave
