Dave Robbins posed a great question in another topic - how many of us have had a Catalina 22 in the past? Well, have you?

I have, the first Nauti Duck, a 1986 fin keel. It is now sailing the Columbia in Portland, Oregon.


We cannot direct the winds but we can adjust our sails.

Our C22 was sailed on the Neuse River in NC and around Morehead City. Had the dinette setup and our young kids could play safely down below while we sailed. I could raise and lower the mast myself back then. I also remember removing the keel, painting and replacing while on the trailer. Same freakin thing I'm doing now (with the 25)! Maybe I need to find a new boat!

The Admiral (Judy) had a 1979 C22 for many years until the boat sank...I raced the 2002 C22 Nationals with a prior champion on Galveston Bay.
Great boats and so much more easily trailered than the C25.

We bought our C22 in Oct. 1976 and still have her (at first co-owned with my older brother). Since buying the C25, the C22 is used almost exclusively for racing. Hope to pass it on to our daughter (she calls it her older sister) once she gets settled job-wise. It could very well end up at Lake Carlyle, IL, if she stays in St. Louis.

Of course! 1981 C22 #10496, sailed San Francisco Bay and trailered it up to sail on Clear Lake (California) for the summers, 1983 to 1987 when we bought our C25.

I owned one for 2 years way back when. My first boat. It is sailing on the Chesapeake today.

When I decided to sell her, I made a website that the cat association wanted me to keep up as a good example of a clean 22. Have a look:

Nice looking 22 Turk! Is that some sort of stealth outboard?

I had to paint it. I beat it so many times for not running right that it looked horrible!

I warned the new owner about it, but he didn't listen. He put several hundred dollars into it and it still didn't run. I believe it now lives UNDER the chesapeake!

I like the Mark II for we old codgers. That extra beam helps with extra beam.

I had a Southcoast 22

It was a great boat but light, not for big water.

Makes a Catalina feel like a cruse ship.

I Love the 25!
