Catalina logo and furler

Post by nybor »

Since I combined the two disparate items, (I am lazy) I put it under the Scuttlerear topic. I wonder if anyone found or has the attached Catalina "decal". My boat is not a MK II, but don't care.

the second item is it is well documented that a sagging furler (i.e., not straight as an arrow) causes difficulties in furling. Since the tension cannot be adjusted at the bow, I wonder that if mine is a bit saggy (maybe the line stretches over time?) can I simply tighten the backstay turnbuckles to pull the mast top aft?

thanks

Might this be the decal you’re looking for - https://www.catalinadirect.com/shop-by- ... hResults=1
Tightening the backstay should tension the forestay as well.

Thanks Ken. If you can see the photo I included, no it is a Name Plate. Catalina Yachts store has them but NOT the best boat (i.e., our 350s).

however, thanks for the idea of slightly tightening the backstay. I will try it.
