Greetings, all -

My C250 came used with a set of white vinyl halyard bags with mesh bottoms that velcro together around the base of the mast. They look fairly similar to Catalina Direct Part No. E2046, but I can't find them listed anywhere on the CD website and am having a hard time finding anything similar elsewhere.

My halyard bags are pretty well shot, coming apart in several places--I presume due to a combination of UV exposure and strong winds. Does anyone have any idea where something similar can be purchased?

Thanks in advance!

I had our local boat upholstery business make new ones several years ago. She was able to sew new ones from measuring the old ones. I don't remember the price but it was reasonable..time and materials.

Thanks, AmberWaves!

Just for the benefit of any future browsers/lurkers: since I'm pretty well inland and couldn't find a local sailmaker/boat upholsterer, I wound up just getting a Blue Performance bag (they were all over the internet/Amazon--see, e.g., https://www.blueperformance.com/product/halyard-bag/--I got the "small" sized one). It's fine--somewhat pricey, probably doesn't need to be quite as tall as it is, and having to unzip the pouch to stow the coiled line is a little fussier than just being able to drop it into an open-topped bag. But the workmanship itself seems solid and I've got someplace to put my lines again, so . . . yeah. :)

Thanks again!
