Several years ago a couple in their mid seventies posted saying that though they still use their Catalina 25 the have removed the mast and boom and have installed a timber of sorts the length of the boat to assist them walking about. I'm interested in locating them. Searching the archived posts have not helped. Does anyone remember them? Or have any information about them?

I vaguely recall that post. If I am right, I read it while sitting at my desk at my old company....which puts it in the old forum which we do not have the data from.

Hi Val,

As I remember, those folks lived in Portland Oregon or Vancouver Washington and sailed their boat on the Columbia River. Maybe someone from around there will remember more.

We haven't heard from Gary B. for awhile, but I think he lived and sailed in that area. You might check with him.

Thanks all, and no Dave, Calista is not yet going to become a stink pot, BUT, the times are-a-changing, DAGNABIT, and it is becoming more difficult to sail the boat and as such I am feeling a kinship with the elders that posted that piece. In the years that Calist has owned me my physical abilities have morphed from being able to shimmy up the mast to having difficulties looking up the mast. I didn't plan it this way but S#!T happens, I'm just trying to make the best of it in my late seventies.
