Beautiful! how many knots?

That is a pretty girl out there cook,n. 🌬️⛵

I get nervous heeling mine this far lol, I tend to fall off before that.

Pretty skilled with that skill saw.😅😅😅😅

great video, I've been using my trailer winch with 2 people at this point, gonna give this a try next time. With the wind here it's a little difficult from keeping the mast from going side to side a little bit tweaking the mast plate. Maybe ill do some baby stays or something.

Love my Catalina 25. Such an easy boat to singlehand, especially with the tiller tamer which I see you have! Is this in central TX?

I needed this, thanks! Replacing smashed window on a ‘69 coronado 25

Very helpful, thanks!

many videos available. yours may be THE BEST.

Ope, just a boom. Man you made that look so pro. Good job!

Clear, concise, and simple. No further. research is needed for me..well done!

I have a 1974 Pearson which uses the same style portlights. Somewhere along the line I read something saying people with Pearsons were able to successfully use the Catalina resealing kits, and this is indeed the case. I have not come upon a video that covers all these steps as well as you have here. Catalina direct should reference customers to your video to accompany the one page instruction sheet they provide with the kit.

That car jack is a great idea. My keel should really get reglassed, but what a lot of work. What year is your 22?

Same boat, i almost never lock the keel. Occasionally, if its knocking around during a rough overnight, ill lock it, for quiet sleeping but even that's rare. I struck bottom near a shallow beach once while it was locked . . . thought better after that and left it swinging free. No issues, love the boat, 1973 : )

I have to try this on my Compac 23. I’ve got some slapping wires inside the mast. Thanks!

I like it a drain on the bottom done stand w test tank

Any updates on this? That bolt with little bite good?

just wondering for the window sealant inside the basket. Apply a lot or just a little ?

What do you paint fiberglass with? It looks great!

I just purchased and C-22. My boat does not have the halyards back to the cockpit. I was going to purchase the Catalina Direct Kit. Were the blocks you replaced for the halyards? If so, what brand and how do you like them now that you have sailed with them? I am wondering if I should just purchase quality blocks and such and not the kit. Your thoughts? Thank you.

I like how simple your Keel Holder is. Did you design it or get plans from somewhere? I will need to drop mine and was wondering if I could get plans to build my own from you or if you could direct me?

Is the 4/1 pulley system a separate bit or rigging specific for raising and lowering the Mast? With that mechanical advantage, do you just use strength to hold the Mast as it is lowered or is there some sort of mechanical "locking/holding" going on? Does the end of the line from the 4/1 rigging just attach directly to the forestay?

Great job! Could you show a close-up, still image of the bow rigging you used to raise the Mast? Also, are the three forward stays disconnected when raising the Mast and just those three have the quick disconnects installed on them? I am trying to set my boat up/rig my boat correctly for single-handed Mast raising and lowering.

Without a Furling, is only the forestay disconnected when you go to raise the Mast?

i just got my 22. I have not raised the Mast. I do not have a Furling jib. Other than the forestay where else do I need the quick release as I will be raising and lowering my mast by myself and will need all the help (technology) I can get?

What year/Hull Number did the Pop Top become standard on the Catalina 22?

This was a huge PIA. Mostly just the part of trying to get a proper seal with the stripping around the glass on the corners...

Keel looks pretty good. Did you have to fair it up, or did it come that way? Or did it just stay that nice since it was cast

Head tack clue luff leach foot Lol

Thank you!

Standard rig or tall rig?

I didn’t see you put weather stripping back on the inside??

Tank for info

thanks for the vid, very good information.... love the part "pain in the ass, thats what it is":)

Damn. I really hope I can take the keel out on my trailer...

That looks so peaceful and a lot of fun. I'll be taking the ASA 101 class in July, and I'm really looking forward to learning how to sail and getting out on the water.

I've passed by but never actually been to Lake Travis, is the drought still bad?

Is that 'The Flying Wasp II'? (Caddyshack joke) Happy New Year!

How’s this thing holding up???

washing machine

If you got a gas powered trolling motor

I just purchased my second sailboat, a much smaller Catalina 22. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. FYI: You may want to put your keep lock back in. When, not if, you keel your sailboat over, the keel will suck up inside the keel well and get stuck. The keel lock prevents this. Once you keel your boat over it will not self-rite and you will take on water eventually sinking your sailboat. Just a heads up, Catalina put that there for a reason, a big safety reason. Safe sailing, Grant

Such good l ine handling. I learned so much just from the first minute of video!

Nice work. I have a similar swing-keel boat and I never bolt it either.

Your too polite. I am sure they saw you and understood your intentions, They would have given some way to allow the turn. It is not like you can stop. Don't fret most sailors understand.

Simply the best

Funny how I keep coming back to this video. The explanation is detailed, and the process is shown very clearly. I have a Catalina 25. I am going to try this method on my boat, but first with another person just in case. Thanks for putting this video on youtube.

Nice

keep the videos coming

i'm in connecticut, if you ever want someone to go out and give a hand sailing with you...let me know.
