mast raising

[Capt. Bluefish]

Have just purchased old Catalina 25 poptop. What's the best mast raising technique for shorthanded crew? Also where can I purchase new companionway washboards Thank you Capt. Bluefish

Try Catalina Yachts for original parts

I have heard nothing but good things about dealing directly with Catalina Yachts directly. Just had occasion to order a new deck connector for my 25. $10 and received within a week. Give them a try.
