Catalina 30 Santa Cruz
Hi All ~

I recently joined the Catalina 30 owners ranks with the purchase of hull 1331 built in 78. Tomorrow I'll be taking her home to Santa Cruz (from Half Moon Bay) where I managed to score a north harbor sublet for 6 months! Holly Ann is decently sound, but needs some work for sure. She's a tall mast bowsprit version with the (I think it's called) the T cabin, not the U model. Someone in the past broke and removed the bowsprit... (which seems odd they didn't replace it....) I'll be living on her there, and getting her in shape for some cruising during summer break. After much use of the search function here and over on the cruisers forum, I'm pretty sure I'll have a ton of questions for ya ~

So other than Catalina proper, Catalina Direct, here of course, and the cruisers forum, any other good resources for older catalina owners?

Fair winds to all !

The yahoo group is good although I have not been using it much since Yahoo did a format change. Also there is a Facebook group for Catalina 30 owners.

Catalina 30 easy living
catalina direct is a seperate entity who sells parts of unstated origin and has no connection to catalina yachts who is still very much in business and quite helplful to owners of older boats. congrats on your boat, and now you have the first of many lessons this sight can bring you.
