man that thing is in great shape. Most of those were butchered into race boats. Nice find.
This boat haunts my dreams. 57 years old. The Beatles released Abbey Road that year.
She will never be mine, but I truly hope her next owner understands what he (or she) is getting.
She is an irreplaceable piece of history.
Well, I was the one to draw this lucky straw. Super pumped.
CONGRATULATIONS!! I hope you and she take good care of each other. And I hope you post regularly here. I'd enjoy seeing more of her!
Shes got great bones. Going through her as I reply, fixing old spreader brackets, shrouds and doing a through go through before she gets to float (hopefully by this weekend)!
"Doc Holiday" #32, a special boat! Light and FAST. She has a new adjustable backstay, New Jib sheet cleats for crew and cap'tn, New mainsheet blocks, and Inside tracks!
She is very solid. She has had 0 upgrades her whole life, which is great because there were not a bunch of holes getting moisture for 60 years, and I got to lay it all out how I wanted! (I did all my holes the right way to, over sized hole, filled with epoxy, and re-drilled!
The Catalina 22 community is also one of the best boat communities I have seen! We were able to start a local fleet here in Colorado as well!
