The Admiral and I are planning to visit the Emerald Isle this spring. I've forgotten what the European Catalina was called and know nothing about where they were made or when. Anyone? I'd just like to search out a few pics to know what to look for.

Steve,
Thanks for the website link.
Did you notice the "Fin Keel" and "Twin Keel" models?
I guess they didn't build a Swing Keel.

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">I suspect the Brits wouldn't consider the swinger to be robust enough to sail in the Channel and the North Sea. The C22 swinger is really designed as an inland lake sailer, and I don't know if there is much opportunity for inland lake sailing done by boats of that size in the British Isles. We're blessed with alot of small lakes and reservoirs, at least in my neighborhood, which, by the way, is the home of the bracket busting Dayton Flyers.

Was just watching "Distant Shores" on cable. The past few weeks they started in Southampton England, went to the Isle of Man, then across the channel to Holland, Denmark, Kiel Germany, the Baltic, Sweden and back down south. In the British Isles, these experienced, salty travellers remarked again and again about the incredible tidal ranges (up to 5m) and currents in the 3-5 kt range (and probably more in narrow channels). They had to time their passages to not oppose the currents and to have enough (or ANY) water in the harbors. I think a swinger would find itself way up Mr. 5#!+'s creek in a heartbeat in those conditions.
The ideal boat therefore should have 0 draft.
<i>Distant Shores</i> has a 3 ft draft and a wing keel.
It's a great show by the way...
