Has anyone taken the Largo factory tour lately? Are they still offering it and how does one arrange it? Couldn't find any info on their web site, looking to find out more about it as I will be in the area mid-April.

Great Tour. I was there in February. I think the tours are on Wednesdays at 3pm.

I second the motion that they are great tours. Not sure when they are, but they are definitely worth it.

I took the tour three years ago right before I bought my C36. I arranged it through a local broker who deals in Catalinas. Good tour. For comparison we also got a tour at Island Packet which is just up the street. And if you're driving down I75 you might as well stop at the Hunter Plant in Alachua. I thought Catalina stood up very well when compared to those others.

I called last year when I was down in the area and was told it was "most" Wednesdays. Best to call ahead.
Our local Power Squadron had a visit to the Tartan factory last fall. It was certainly worth while.
