I'm replacing all the rope lines on my 1979 Catalina 22 - Does any one on this forum know of a listing of line sizes and lengths required for a complete refitting of all braided lines on the boat? Thanks for any help. L. P. Scott

Lines and sizes Catalina 22
Thanks Ken - I tried "Resources" as Stu suggested - but only got a sales pitch for Samson braid with size "choices" - not real specs. Your info is very helpful as what I really needed was sizes and lengths. Now I can go to the marine store and purchase the needed lines before steping the mast and beginning the process. Thanks Mucho! L.P. Scott

Some clalrity on resources
click again, and look at the bottom of the gray box: Catalina Owners Associations, that's what i meant, not the rigging shop. Go to the C22 organization, and look at a C22 manual for the line sizes and lengths. The halyard lengths may vary due to mast mount or running them back to the cockpit. Ken's advice was bvery helpful, but, as he said, that's what he uses. Check again.

That's the right thing to do
The Associations provide SOOO much info, it's only right to join them and contribute right back. When we had our C22, we used the drawings in Pat Royce's "Sailing Illustrated," and ran the halyards back with Shaefer blocks on the deck and rigged a downhaul. Check out the book somewhere, you really don't have to buy it, just look at the picture which is of a C22! Again, be careful of new line lengths that you purchase, always err too long, because...

In the manual
In the manual that I have for the 1987 22 (inb the back page) there is line sizes and lengths but I think that some of them can vary a bit depending upon your specific situation....Lines led aft and all. Another issue to consider is that if you go with these newer and stronger lines of lesser diameter, sometimes the cleats may react differently to them and not hold so well.
