Taking YOU summer sailing aboard my Catalina 22 Sailboat. Wine mixers not included.
Рет қаралды 31,358
Күн бұрынWe 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!

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？

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.

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 !
@ZeroToAwesome 3 жыл бұрын
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?
@odysseyofjason 3 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.
