Hi all,

Does anyone know off hand our group discount number. I saw it in Mainsheet and don't remember which issue, and I'm about blind scanning recent past issues trying to find it. Hate to encumber ya'll but I'm desperate.

Val,
I won’t post the discount number here as it is a privilege of membership in the National Association. However if you use your membership ID and password you can go to the last TellTale at the Association web site and you will find the BoatUS discount number at the bottom of the last TellTale that was published.

This forum is open to anyone on the web who wants join a discussion of our boats but I encourage all Catalina 25/250 owners to join the association. Your dues help support this forum also you receive the Mainsheet magazine four times a year and as a member you receive a group discount at BoatUS.

How much of a discount do you get? I need to get my membership in. I recently bought a 1983 Catalina 25, TR, with factory retrofit wing keel. I'll launch it this spring for the first time.

 This is what’s posted in the TellTale.

 
“Here's an important benefit reminder: The Association participates in the BoatU.S. Cooperating Group Program. This makes your BoatU.S. Association membership only half price, so if you sign up or renew, be sure to give them our Agreement number XXXXXXX. Your regular BoatU.S. $19 annual dues are thus only $9.50.
*****
We're also a member of US Sailing, so check out www.ussailing.org for great info in the world of racing.
*****

 So with $9.50 off the BoatUS membership and the Mainsheet which is a $10 value joining the Association makes sense money wise as well as supporting a terrific group and this forum. Your dues are only $20 per year.

MIKE, welcome to the group. I am told there is a west coast factory and an east coast factory. Which one did the wing retrofit? Thanks ron srsk 1981 Orion #2343 SW FL

I was told by the PO that it was done in FL. The boat is in pretty good shape but needs some typical stuff, batteries, new lights, etc. I feel lucky to have a wing keel because where I sail has some shallow spots. I previously had a Catalina 22 swing keel.

Got a crazy question, probably not going to be answered here, but, I'll ask anyways.

Association membership provides a 50% reduction in BoatUs membership.

My club provides a 50% reduction in Boat US membership.

Does that mean I can get a BoatUS membership for free?

My wife was a manager of a department store for 11 years. One of their benefits was a 25% discount. I would go there to buy something and would find it marked 75% off, plus my wife's 25% discount it should be free!
It never worked out like that, I always had to pay something.

Bryan - that's because your wife's 25% discount only applied to the 25% that was left AFTER the sale 75%... So you should pay 18.75% of the original price. Oh! The joys of percentages <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hi all,

Tried to apply the membership discount to the recently arrived Boat U.S. premium notice<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> They chuckled and said ,politely ,NO!<img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>
Since they continually decrease the value of the boat and at the same time increase the premium, one can only do what one can do. I knew it was a lost cause from the gitgo, but what the heck. <img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>

My apologies for stirring the muck.
