Does anyone know where I can find a galley unit for a C-22 (1975)? I'm told it is a complete drop-in unit, but I don't know if Catalina sells them seperately, or if I should look for one in a salvage yard, or what. Thanks.

I like Catalina Already!
Thanks, Ted, for pointing me to Catalina Direct. While I'm a new C-22 owner (old boat, new owner), I was already aware of them, but didn't know they would have such an array of out-of-production parts. So, it turns out that the Galley Unit is no longer available, but they referred me to Catalina, with a phone number, and I spoke to their parts people. NOW FOR THE GOOD PART..... Catalina also said that it was no longer available, and the Galley for the newer boats wouldn't fit - but - they transferred me to a technician who scanned in the original working drawings of the unit (from 1974), and he emailed me .JPG images of them! This might not sound so amazing, but try to get that out of General Motors on an old car part. Good luck! Anyway, I am extremely pleased with their efforts to help me with my problem, and look forward to working with them in the future. Thanks again for your help, as well. And yes, when I get the time, I'm going to build the galley; perhaps not an exact match, but close.

Popularlity of the Galley?
I've never checked it out personally, but I seem to remember a number of discussions on this board about the popularity of the "stock" galley on the c22. From my memory, it seemed like the general opinion was that the slide out galley wasn't the most popular approach for the C22. I don't recall if people thought it was a waste of space, or if the galley needs were better served by a portable stove, or what. So, in those famous words: "Check the archives" and "ask the question at the C22 association" Good luck! Tim Brogan April IV C350 #68 Seattle

Galley in 22 (and anchors)
Tim: We made a 9-day cruise in our 1975 C 22 thru the San Juan Islands near you this past month. The slide-out galley was perfect! We finally used the water tank (at end of trip siphoned out the excess for winter storage), and our Origo 3000 alcohol stove (we replaced the old propane with this alcohol stove a few years ago) performed quite well. Also our 10 hp Honda did well, though I think we could have gotten by with 4 hp, as long as one uses tide tables to follow the currents. Our 13 lb Danforth anchor was OK, though it slipped in a 35 mph wind at Bowman Bay. When I pulled it, I found the rode and chain had wrapped around the anchor so that it was pulling sideways. Suspect this happened during the very light variable winds that sent us in circles a couple of hours before the big blow. Although maybe I let it drop too fast when lowering-- after that I was most careful to lower it slowly while backing off with the boat, then setting well w/motor in reverse. I did notice that most anchors in the San Juans are the Bruce type, probably for good reason. I use a snubber on the rode, connected to the bow eye (where you attach to the trailer), which really reduces wandering and rode-chaffing when the wind is up a bit, and that always did a good job. Also use a small riding sail which also reduces wandering. But in real light winds, or in variable tidal currents and winds such as one finds in anchorages such as Cypress Head n. of Anacordas, the boat and the mooring-tire play "bumper cars". Dick
