Dude. I know it's an older vidie but I had to say something. The Velcro for the TV is an outstanding idea. I'm very impressed. that's enough alow that deserves a sub and like thumbs up👍
Just came across your channel. My wife is also from cebu, hope to be sailing to the Philippines soon as the world gets over with this bs that is going on. Good luck to the both of you!
Thanks man! North Star did the upholstery. Not cheap, but very high quality. A tip for fabrics is that small lines make the space seem bigger and large patterns make spaces feel smaller. Thanks for watching!
Very nice decor! I am looking at buying a 1984 Catalina but I feel yours is wider? I don't think I would be able to do the L shape kitchen, which I really like.
Got myself a cat 30 as well. 1979 #1325 Raging Bull. She's in a bit of refit mode. Check out the spring issue of Mainsheet magazine for pix of mine. Yours is looking great.
Man for a 30 ' that looked a lot more spacious than i thought. I dont know anything about sailboats but recently decided i wanna try it. Im just overwhelmed with all the new things to learn. The size difference between models is crazy.
Hey, great video! I am looking into buying a Catalina 30 and really like the way yours looks in the cockpit area. I was wondering what brand or manufacturer your dodger and tent cover were. Thanks!
Hi. I too have a Cat 30. I love to get ideas for my boat from videos like yours. Can you tell me about your 12v fridge. Brand? I used to live in the SD area (OB)in the 80’s. Sailed your area a lot. Made a couple trips to the Coronado Islands. Love y’all’s channel. Jonathon
Absolutely beautiful Cat30! You've really knocked this one out of the park. I had a Cat25 I kept on the lake in a marina slip, spending weekends aboard. Not nearly as comfortable as your 30; mine was more like a pop-top camper where your 30 is a small RV. I'm 6'2 as well, and learned ALOT from my first sailboat, and what I want/require in my next one. I've been looking at Cat30's (and similar) while I dream of a Formosa 51 and a Captain Ron adventure, without all the work and piracy of course! Great job guys, beautiful boat!
hola muy buen video, tengo pasion por el cat 30 y en algun momento tengo como plan comprarme uno y realizar vida a bordo, mi consulta es que si sirve este velero para navegacion de todo tipo no solo costera sino tambien oceanica, y otra consulta muy importante es que en que precion oscilan este tipo de veleros,agradecido por la opcion de traduccion que hace mas facil el entendimiento. saludos
Great video guys! I gotta show my wife this tour. I too have a C30 and a TH-cam channel in Long Beach, CA. Your interior looks great and gave me some good ideas for mine. Thanks for the tour. Question; Does your "second fridge" run on 12 volt power or propane or both? Anyways, I subd and looking forward to more vids. Cheers!
I love your boat!! Thanks for the ideas! Where did you get the little step you used to climb into the V-berth? I would love to get one of those for my boat.
The price can vary a lot depending on the condition. My piece of advice is a boat that is cheap usually will cost A LOT to fix up. Worth spending more up front for something well maintained. Thanks for watching!
No this isn’t any particular “marine” fabric. Just nice fabric that we picked out at North Star Canvas who also did the work. If you think it’s going to get really wet or dirty I’d go for the vinyl option.
Can you provide the details for your cockpit tent? Looking to buy a 1980 Catalina 30 and love the shade provided by you tent. Very upbeat inspiring video.
It’s a custom canvas covering that came with the boat. Any upholstery company can make it. Be sure to use Sunbrella fabric or it won’t last a year! It is expensive but worth it. If you are able to find a “non marine” upholstery company it is usually way cheaper. Depends on how perfect/durable/cheap you want it to be. Never use a plastic tarp on your boat or your dockmaster will hate you! Thanks for watching!
I rent this sailboat catalina 30 last summer and i can tell you that the bed in the saloon where the table goes down is to small.I couldn't sleep comfortably so i slept in the v berth. (Im not tall,less then 5.9).
@@OnTheDocks i have a cal 9.2 same length as the cat30 and deeper deeper keel of 5.7 draft 😂 my boat weight 7000 pounds the cat is around 12000 i believe.I like your refit inside neat.
@@OnTheDocksI'm a new subscriber! I saw your channel come across my TH-cam and decided to watch. Just curious but what is a stew? A stewardess? If so, what does that job entail? I'm also an American guy married to a wonderful filipina and we live on the east coast. Been wanting to get into sailing and getting ideas watching sailing channels and reading a lot. May I ask, is your boat your only home or do you have a home/apartment on land also? May I ask what you do for work at the marina? I'm a professional chef and have a catering business for over 30 years and looking to get into sailing but it's difficult because we live about 2.5 hours drive from the nearest saltwater and I run my catering business. I was thinking about trying to get into another job where we could live closer to the water or live on a boat but we'd still need to make a living of course. Any thoughts as to what we could do to make money so we could live on or near the docks (like your channel states, lol)? My wife is from Calasiao on Luzon by the way. Where is your wife from? I showed my wife your channel too😊 Thanks in advance for any thoughts that would be able to get us closer to the water.
Cat 30s are great for inland water, light air cruising. Can't be beat for comfort and room. Not good for blue water. Plenty of experts have written about this.
The thought of getting caught in a 40 knot + storm in one kind of put the brakes on me getting one of these, but for the dock life they really are nice. It like a little condo.
@@michaelbrownlee9497They're great for inland waters and coastal hops. Have to watch the weather updates and keep your wits about you. Some of the best sailing is right on the edge of horrifying.
My wife and I are an older couple looking for a similarly sized boat as our first. How can you set up some kind of air conditioner for dockside use? TY
I had a portable ac in there at one point and vented it out the companionway or hatch. But it took up so much room and we only need it a couple times a year in San Diego. Having a big canvas cover helps A LOT with keeping the inside cool.
Beautiful boat, nice work. I have a 1988 C30 and am interested in your liquor rack. Is that a Whitecap teak magazine rack that you repurposed? If so, great idea.... I’m looking to do the same
@@CryptoMafia eh, I wouldn’t be overly worried about that. Thousands of people use that motor. I think in general people like the diesel because they are considered more reliable.
Agree. I personally would not own a sail boat with a gas engine. Too volatile. My caralina 30 has the universal M-25XP (25 HP I think). It moves the boat just fine. The older atomic 4 gas engine was under powered (like 10 HP I think)
Hello Jack and Rona, my name is Carlos González. Congratulations for you amazing ship, I love your order and cleanliness!! I´m from Spain. I´m thinking to buy a saliboat Catalina 30. My problem is that my height is 1,84m and I would like satnd upright inside of the ship. My navigation plan is sailoing with my wifw and my thre littles kids near of the coast and perhaps sleep some days inside. Do you think this model will serve me because of the height of the cabin and the safety in navigation? Thanks for your videos and CONGRATULATIONS!! Best regards._ Carlos
I actually uttered "oh my gosh" aloud when I saw the Velcro TV mount. Then I crapped myself when I found out it was a bed too. I hope one day to be aboard the Jacq Daniel's - blacked out after drinking Elijah Craig shots out of Jack and Rona's coffee mugs with them in the salon. Next I'd make them set up the guest bed for me because I'd insist on spending the night but ultimately I'd pass out in Rona's area. Maybe you can have a sweepstakes for your subscriber's offering a lucky few this experience. Let me know what you think!
Guys, what should year of your Catalina ? And second question; where you buy new pillows on the sofa. Not the small ones you bought on Amazon, but the big ones. Sorry, my English is not native. but I really hope you understand what kind of seats and backrests I’m talking about
Thats was the best tour of a toilet I've ever had in 55 yrs of life. Its an outstanding toilet !
love how she says the head works well for 2 people but all you see is her stuff😉
Maybe not safest for rough sea but definitely best layout I've ever seen, especially on 30 feet
Your velcro TV mount is brilliant!!!
super quality and in depth tour!
You two are so funny! A Vana White in the making. Thanks for the thorough walk through!
The table/bed setup is great. Need to do that.
Nice crib! I really like how it has been fixed up. Good job Rona!
Dude. I know it's an older vidie but I had to say something. The Velcro for the TV is an outstanding idea. I'm very impressed. that's enough alow that deserves a sub and like thumbs up👍
Thanks man! It really works great.
I have a Catalina 30 and you just fixed my TV dilemma Thanks!
Glad to hear it! Use some denatured alcohol on the wood before you stick the Velcro on there so it sticks better!
I imagined how cosy it is to live in a sailing boat. Shout out rona... and im one of your fan now.
Awesome guys! Love the TV setup
Just came across your channel. My wife is also from cebu, hope to be sailing to the Philippines soon as the world gets over with this bs that is going on. Good luck to the both of you!
very cool tour nice boot the 30 . i will be hoping i see more of that boat thank you .
Great use of space. V nice.
I'd always keep that guest bed down and just lounge out lol looks super comfy
Valcro TV mount! Genius 😃
I gotta agree with you, the Velcro TV mount is a winner! I'm looking at these on line. I'm concerned the v berth will be short as I'm 6 foot 4.
Keep posting you guys. Great videos and good content. The algorithm is starting to work for you.
Best interior I’ve seen so far! Where did you get the upholstery done? Love that style. Makes the space look so much roomier.
Thanks man! North Star did the upholstery. Not cheap, but very high quality. A tip for fabrics is that small lines make the space seem bigger and large patterns make spaces feel smaller. Thanks for watching!
@@OnTheDocks Duly noted - thank you much!
beautiful - done some sailing on Czech lakes, wish I could live on a sailboats
Beautiful and so is the boat
My filipina wife is excited to come to San Diego and start sailing together!!
Great job yall❤
Very nice decor! I am looking at buying a 1984 Catalina but I feel yours is wider? I don't think I would be able to do the L shape kitchen, which I really like.
Awesome layout! Great informative video. I'm wondering where you are located?
Thats a 30 ...wow..Im getting one. Did she come with it?

Do you know if there’s a steep l learning curve?
She looks awesome! And the boat looks good too! The C30 is soooo clean! Have fun and enjoy! Cool vid - look fwd to more. When ya sailing?
I would just recess that tv into the wall and hinge the table with a detachable hinge
Great video. Keep it up.
Crushing it
Very nice job on the interior, what year is the boat? Thx for the video.
1983. Thanks!
Adorable couple! Thanks for letting us see your home!!
I love the Velcro idea for the tv.
Elijah Craig is great whiskey. Love that stuff. Since you're on a boat you should try rum. I recommend Appleton Estate 12 Year.
I love the NACHOS LIBRA music.
Wow great sofa bed
Hey, great video! I am looking into buying a Catalina 30 and really like the way yours looks in the cockpit area. I was wondering what brand or manufacturer your dodger and tent cover were. Thanks!
It’s all just custom canvas work. Check with your local canvas guys. If in San Diego use Silver Bay
Love this. Where did you get the tent covering? Perfect!
The previous owner had it custom made I believe. Could hardly imagine living aboard without it!

Great Job guys! We are in the market mind sharing what range of price we should spend? Much appreciated.😊
The price can vary a lot depending on the condition. My piece of advice is a boat that is cheap usually will cost A LOT to fix up. Worth spending more up front for something well maintained. Thanks for watching!

Would have bought a C30 long ago if I had known they come with a built-in Filipina
