Same here. That’s not a good sign.

"Suspended"? For non-payment?

The ownership of Catalina Yachts, the brand and the assets was sold earlier this year. It is now a subject of litigation. Tartan yachts is also involved. There has been several articles in the boating press. Check out the Loose Cannon on Substack.

Right. I knew that. I was wondering if maybe they did not pay their bill to the ISP.

I am definitely aware of the change in ownership and the halting of production. It was supposed to be temporary: "one month"

Losing the website seems far more terminal than just a pause.

Approximately 10 boat were in production and an untold number of deposits on boats waiting to go into production. All of that was in limbo. Now it seems like a loss. I feel sad for those trapped in this litigation BS.

It also means I have lost my warranty coverage on my boat. Simply lovely.
