Catalina Direct

[Robert W. Bonney]

Due to an unfortunate accident over the weekend, I need to replace my forestay on a C22 MkII. I naturally called Catalina Direct to purchase a new one, but after three days of trying, they have not returned my phone calls. Can anyone recommend another source for a 1999 C22 mkII forestay?

Local rigger

I think West Marine has a rigging shop but I would contact a local guy first. First off, it's always good to support the locals but secondly, if you have any problems, they're more likely to actually come out

Your local sailboat shop

I have replaced all my rigging in the last 2 years and except for an adjustable backstay from Catalina Direct, I bought it all from my local sailboat shop. I just take in the old stay, we measure it out and he makes it on the spot. Since some of my rigging had stretched we were able to shorten it up to give me more adjustment on my turn buckles. The cost was a little less than ready made rigging.
