Hello all,

I'm looking for a replacement wooden drawer that goes under the galley sink. My boat was missing one of the two stacked drawers when I bought the boat. I've spoken with Catalina Direct, and have also emailed Catalina directly, but no response yet from them.

If anyone has one of these left over from a modification, etc., please let me know. I may have to just build one myself but I'll try the easy route first!

Thanks,

Don,

Try Charles Lynn. Email: lynncb@mcrdpi.usmc.mil

He had some unfortune with a bridge and totaled his boat. He was selling her off a piece at at time.

I got a fast reply from Mr. Lynn. He no longer has that boat, so I'm still looking.
Thanks,

Hey Don,

Call the Catalina factory. They are less than responsive to emails. But, good on the phone. Ask for parts.

Hi Don,

Here is a link to a website set up by guy who has been selling parts from a salvaged C-25 ... I've bought a couple of things from him and he has been prompt, easy to deal with, and his prices are good:

http://www.sailingtexas.com/cparts.html

Of course, I don't know if he has a drawer left, but it wouldn't hurt to send him an email.

Also, here is a link to an eBay listing ... this guy is selling a teak drawer face without the drawer (you would have to construct the actual drawer yourself):

'Hope that helps ... good luck!

Thanks Bill & Buzz.

The Catalina factory came back with "not available". They referred me to H & L Marine 323-636-1718 who apparently makes a lot of their woodwork for them. The are checking on the price for making an exact duplicate. It might be too pricey, but we'll see. Also, no luck with the Texas salvage yard. Again Thanks!

I can't remember exactly where I saw this...I think it was in one of the posts on this forum... Anyway, one sailor removed both drawers on the aft side of the galley and put on louvered doors. He claimed he had more storage that way. The installation looked very nice. Rather than trying to find a drawer, you might consider that route.

I wanted to thank everyone for their leads on a replacement galley drawer. Unfortunately, everything came up dry. So...I went down to the local Woodcraft store and bought a short length of teak board, and locked myself in the garage for a while, and made a new drawer. The hardest part was carving out that oval hollow handle! It actually came out OK.

Now, if it will just fit in the hole when I get back to the boat!

Happy Holidays everyone!
