Hi all,
I want to replace the bulkhead on my C22 because it is beginning to deteriorate at the base. I am considering replacing it with PVC board, rather than marine plywood because PVC is impervious to rot, is strong, and is paintable. Has anyone done that? Is there any good reason not to...
Hi everyone, I'm in the market for my first boat and would like a used Catalina 22, I'm not very experienced when it comes to buying a boat or what to look for.
Can anyone give me any suggestions/ a checklist so I'm fully prepared when I start my search?

Hi everyone,
This will be my first boat and so I wanted some advice on it before I bite the bullet so to speak.
I found a 1980 Cat 22 with trailer and a sizable list of extras (wrap around cover, boat cover, life jackets, solar panels, extra sails) for sale for $2350 but it does not include...
Hi, Just joined and am anticipating purchasing another sailboat SOON. Have been without for a couple years. Problem is my slip currently, and in the near future has no water at low tide, only mud.
I am looking closely at a Starwind 22 and have looked at the Catalina 22s. Both seem to have...
Greetings,
I have a problem. I'm trying to remove the tiller and rudder from my Cat 22. At the beginning of last season I put the rudder on the boat by simply slipping the two pins on the rudder into the two gudgeons on the transom. I want to remove the rudder so I can install the mast...
How possible do you think it would be to sail around the world on a Catalina 22.
You know. Buy the boat and fix her up real good.
Do you think it would make it the whole 30,000 miles?
I am new to the forum, and have recently bought a Catalina 22. stepping up from a Hobie 14. I have noticed two things that bother me. the shrouds loosen themselves over a weeks time, and today when I walked out of the house I had a broken shroud.
Is it normal for the shrouds to loosen up...
Hi all,
I bought a Catalina 22 a few years ago, and love this little boat. It is perfect for our lake house where depths are up to 55', and at the dock only a little over 2'.
My question is this. I have noticed that above 15 knots of wind she really wants to be on her ears when the gusts...
Ahoy. I'm in the market for an inexpensive practical boat to day / weekend sail around the Puget Sound out of Olympia. This Cat 22 just came up for sale:

It started out about 0530 with my middle step-daughter telling me she has no shoes to go out on the boat with.....:mad: Oh, well, a brief scramble and we get that taken care of. Now, fast forward to 0730 at Cochiti Lake NM. I have real "fun" Army Corp of Engineers ranger reading me the riot act...
I have gotten the chance to get an older Catalina 22 fixed keel. I have quite a bit of experience around power boats (especially commercial fishing boats in the 30-45 foot range), I have sailed sunfish and small sailboats some and I am a fairly capable carpenter and handyman.
This boat has not...
Hello all,
I'm new to the forum, and first boat buyer (20-23ft). This is harder than buying a house :) . I plan spending 4K for the boat and reserve 2K for extras. (total 6k) The boat will be moored so I decided to look for a fixed keel. I live in Miami and plan to use the boat to sail the bay...
