- We have spent a lot of time getting my Catalina 22 sailboat into ship-shape. So it is finally time for all of that hard work to pay off and get out on the water. After countless days of buffing the hull, repairing electrical gremlins, scrubbing the cabin, running new rigging, and a nearly tragic mast-dropping incident we finally go for a cruise.
In this video we also use really cool words like Jib. I'm still not certain what a Jib is, but it would probably be a pretty awesome name for a dog. Stay tuned and you might learn a few things about sailing, or just understand a little more about those funny looking slow ski boats out on the water.

It seems you were sailing alone. Going forward on a boat that has no lifelines, not wearing a PFD with the boat motoring along is very risky. Falling in the water and seeing your boat scoot away with no other boats around must be terrifying!
Great job. Thanks for posting!!!
Great video! We are 22 years old and live on our sailboat, preparing to sail around the world. the Catalina 22's are awesome boats, so fun to sail! Fair winds, and if you are ever near us hit us up!
Safe travels, enjoy your incredible journey!
Great video! Thank you for sharing ⛵️
Love Lake Grapevine! Cheers!
Good video buddy! Love the shades! I can see myself in the reflection!
Love the van in your profile pic!!
This was such a great video
aye! thanks! (eric), very cool man.
very nice.
Oh man, never go sailing alone without a PFD on! A guy died just the other day that way. And yes he was young and strong!
This wouldn't happen to be on Lake Grapevine, in DFW, would it? I race out there with GSC on a Melges 24 named "Lucky Dog".
It just might be! If I’m not on our boat I’m usually racing on Don’t Panic. Looks like this weekend is cancelled!
@@ZeroToAwesome Yeah, I saw that email come through this morning. We won second in our class at last years Gold Rush Regatta.
Thanks man. Buying a C 22 tomorrow.
Welcome to the club! What part of the country are you sailing in?
Once people find out you have a boat they always seem to be willing to go for a ride. Enjoy your first sail on her!
Fantastic job stowing the main sail by yourself. What is your secret?
Too much practice!
Nice video! Thanks for sharing. Is this C22 a single-handed boat? Is it good for beginner to learn to sail as many people say that the best boat for learning to sail is dinghy like ILCA 6？
what lake is this? buying a c22 tomorrow. going to take it out on lewiseville. looks like lewisville in this video
Grapevine! Good luck with the purchase.
@@ZeroToAwesome any chance I could come out with you and learn some rigging?
Sheets don't help your sails go up and down. That is what halyards are for. But you are right that they are not called ropes.
Do you ever need someone to Crew? I'm rebuilding a C22 right now just outside Dallas. Would love to go out with you sometime.
Where do you get the boat cover from? Looks like it's a good fit.
The Sailors’ Tailor out of Ohio. Lots of covers for one design boats and they can do custom canvas if you have something a little more special.
Hey. Got my C22. Your boat seems to have a line I don't have. It's a steel line from the top of the mast to the end of the boom. It's NOT the backstay. After you release the boom from the backstay, it is visible while you sail. It's clearly visible at 7:53. What is it used for? Thanks !
Hey there! It is a topping lift, not necessary but handy if you are going to drop the mast and trailer every once in a while. Also if you set it up with a block on the boom you can help keep strain off of the leech in your main in light downwind runs and add a little shape. Catalina direct has a $100 kit to add this to the 22.
Or maybe it just holds the rum?
Hey, I added the topping lift from C.D. because it allows you to drop the main without the boom falling into the cockpit. Sometimes, when the wind is up, it's hard to hook that little dangler to the boom. I've got 2 Catalina 22 vids up if ya'll are interested.
Best burgers in grapevine.
Seriously, why are they so good?
@@ZeroToAwesome everything tastes better when you’re watching gas dock demolition derby.
LOL
ROFLOL?
You don’t sound like Texas lol Do you regret not going for a longer boat? Looking to purchase one but not sure on the size yet
Howdy! For cruising the 22 is a little small, but for single handing and racing it is perfect. Especially since you can race one-design fleets rather than in handicap fleets. I’ve already been looking at the next boat though, something in the 36 range so it could handle some offshore cruising.
What does "dope" mean?
Nautical term, short for “cool”.
still got it?
Yes, it even floats!
canyon lake?
Grapevine, awesome sailing club out there and a great C22 fleet that is pretty active racing.
Did you remove the safety lines?
The lifelines and stanchions were already long gone when I got the boat.
What is your hull number. I have 3032
You have a MUCH lower hull. I’m in the 12000’s
Would give Sailing lessons?
If you are in the area and the wind is good come on out!
What an amazing human being, thank you for sharing.
Where in Texas are you?
I See you’re on Grapevine! Do you have an email I could reach out to?
Mayyyyyybe…
justzerotoawesome (at) gmail.com
Is Bubba Wallace your brother?
Wish I could go that fast!
9:00 racist boat
Ummm…. Good catch I guess?!
He said, "I do race this boat...." Not a good catch, dude.
racist boat
