Not trying to be rude but whats this about?

Thanks for the video. Just did mine today. The link and part number were good, but not long enough for my hull. There wasn't much threat to screw on to. I also had to do silicone both sides because the butyl tape wouldn't compress. Might redo it. Might just put it in the water and see what i think and tey again next year. We'll see...

Great video , I'm just about to recondition my keel on Jaguar 22 which is the Uk version of the Catalina. Your information on the shims will be very useful. Many thanks.

Hi Mattew, how can I contact you ? I also have swing keel but different problem. I woul like to send the photo of the swing keel maye you can guide me. thanks

A great video....thank you,Sir

i miss my c22

I think most boats with larger cockpits have too small of scuppers to drain the weight of the water out fast enough to prevent sinking if following seas or other wave swamping events occurred. Are there larger scuppers with internal flapper- type valves to prevent the sea from entering lower transoms allow the rapid drain?

Well done sir. Whoever buys the boat from you will appreciate your attention to detail.

'They' say necessity is the mother of all invention.

Does the water not "pool" in the stearn of the boat because of the angle facing forward?

Caciocavallo e rosamarina❤️🇮🇹❤️

What outboard do you have and would you recommend it?

Where/how did you learn all the paint stuff and that chart? My boat is a fresh water boat that will be 99% salt water once I get it sea worthy.

What was the process of sanding and painting the Keel? What primer, what paint, .....? Thank you! I just purchased my 22 and am starting with the keel.

so amazing . i wanna buy a cat 22 but id never b able to figure any of this other stuff out. you're wicked smart!

This is a lot of helpful info for us C22 owners. That's a lot of hard work and I'd rather just pay a grand for someone else to do it.

Great video. I have hull #10,197.

Another solution would be to buy a Bruce anchor.... that would fit INSIDE the bucket, shank down My anchor lived in the lazarette locker (Mac 26S) it was a Bruce in a SQUARE bucket (more stable than round and more space efficient)....I used to deploy/set the anchor from the stern (makes sense when you consider that's where you and the engine controls are) After engine shut off I'd walk the bucket up (outside the stays!) to the bow and secure the rode. Reverse process in the morning. One thing about a Bruce: no moving parts to pinch/injure your hands!!! I "boat camped" on a Davidson 18 (swingkeel) for ten years....then cruised with a Mac 26 for 13 years....(both boats on both coasts of Vancouver Island.) There is no free lunch and while you gain some stuff with length you always lose something as well!! I always thought that your boat would be about the perfect compromise

"marine grade" silicone???? What? Did they put a picture of a sailboat on the tube??? LOL..... Next time use SIKAFLEX....cost more, way better....it keeps expanding for a while after application and NEVER goes hard/brittle...doesn't attract dirt/goes black like silicone does. Used it on boats and RVs....won't anything else now

Thank you for the video Matthew. QUESTION-What is the brand/model of the blue floor jacks at the transom end?

Another tip I found out that in a following sea I would get water in the cockpit from my scuppers, so I installed the rubber flaps from Amazon that lets water out but not in. By the way that is a very nice boat, I have hull 8588. What's your hull number?

Hey man I did the exact same project on my Catalina 22. A trick for the butle tape for you: Once you put the beetle tape around the threads against the cockpit hole or on the washer however you want to do it, put just a little bit of petroleum jelly on the butyl tape between the tape and the nut and the nut will spend on perfect the beetle tape will stay in place.

Awesome video once again. Very clean audio. Nice pacing to all your clips. Was sad when it was over. :) looking forward to the next one.

Very nice workmanship, keep posting.

Really looking forward to following along with all your videos. Keep them coming please! Found you on the Catalina FB group and just now subscribed.

Just bought a c22 as my first sail boat, wish me luck!

wish someone would make a video showing the build process of that lifting jack. looked at the blueprint online and don't understand it. would help so many others if there was a video building the jack. easier understanding watching it get done.

pb blaster, the best stuff been using it for years on cars.

I really like the jack method. Takes only a little more time up front and saves a bunch of dinking around. I think it's important to add the extra uprights once the trailer is out. Great video, Mathew. If I hadn't already solved the problem for me, I probably would have done it this way. I will be remaking my lifting videos this spring. Longer-stronger beam, and a wedge on the beam. I especially like the measuring too you created and the oversize wheels on the cart were exactly a great solution to the unpaved site. Great job!

Hell yes it dose 🤙🏻thanks man for help yeah the stock ones suck

Looks like a good upgrade.

Does this work on most keels. Is it Catalina specific ? I have a Mcgregor 24 ft Venture.

Great video. Fantastic production!

Also, I just used a 2-inch piece of white PVC pipe - cut it flush, and silicone them in. they look fine and have worked well w/o a problems

After watching a video like yours, I did the same project on my Catalina 22 8+ years ago. Last summer, I decided to just duck tape over the drain holes for the winter because I was sick and tired of cleaning the cockpit drain tubes which as you know is never easy. Now I just let the boat cockpit fill with water over the winter and know that the transom drains are there. I drained out the water this spring in the cockpit -cleaned up the mess- and took off the tape. Why didn't I think of this before?

1:16. Yep, you do work very quikly..

Will the sealant not fail due to the cockpit moving relative to the transom?

I have a 74, and have so much fun working and sailing on her. You made a wonderful evening sailing YT… enjoy!

Nice!. You siliconed the threads as well? TXS

Really excellent filmmaking. I have a Laguna Windrose. It is a poor man's catalina. My keel pivot bolts were glassed over. Probably some previous owner couldn't get it to stop leaking. So I can't inspect the bolt and that leaves me worried, because is does hang slightly sideways. If I cut into the glass, who knows what I would find (Can't get parts for this boat)

Could you post a link for the fitting?

Put shower floor pads over drain holes when moored to keep clear

Well done. Love the keel rolling cart.

Thanks Mike. I’m looking for a sailboat. Pocket cruiser, lake size. You made that repair look like something even I could do.

The kids lounging on the settees while you sail is priceless! 😁👍

I really like the way you captured the sled with the bevels--thanks for sharing the thinking process.

Good!

Nicely done Matthew. My keel doesn't need shims, so I will refer people to your video if they ask.

Well, now I have another project.. I was planning to recoat my keel anyway. I never thought of shims until I found this video. Great idea and I will definitely do this when the keel comes out before next spring. 🙂 Thanks for posting this video. 👍

Great video. I couldn't find the keel shim kit in the Catalina 22 portal. Do you remember how is it listed?
