Quick question on my 320. I just ordered and received Halyard sheet bags from Catalina. I was at the boat show last week, all the boats had em, they really helped organize the lines. Does anyone have any thoughts on how thick the bulk head by the companion way is, i.e., I don't want to drill all the way through when I put the fasteners on. If anyone has mounted these and knows the right size screws to use, I'd appreciate the info. Thanks a lot

Halyard Bags

Jim. congratulations on your recent purchase. I, too, am considering halyard bags for my 320. I don't have an answer to your question but I am surprised the screws/fasteners weren't included with the purchase of the bags. I would contact Catalina for their recommendation. Let us know how you make out. Good luck! Hank LeSieur #331

Looking a bit foolish.

Checked a bit further and in the bottom of one of the bags was a nice little packet of fasteners. Sorry for the spam!

Jim, don't you love it when everything comes together! Good luck with your installation. Just curious, is each bag compartmentalized for each halyard or do all the halyards fall into one compartment? Hank LeSieur #331

A bit late on my response.

Couple of closing comments. 1. pretty sure this was the easist upgrade I've done. The product came from Catalina parts in 2 days, the fastners were included, put a mark on the drill bit to ensure that I do not do a drill through, and go forward. All told 20 minute install, can't beat that! 2. The bags work out nicely. two pockets per bag. Here's how I've organized in one week, may change, but it may be right, who knows. starboard side, main halyard is at the bottom of a bag, second reef is in the same bag, vang is in the same bag. In the other bag stb side, is the main and stbd jib sheet. port side, one bag contains, jib halyard and spinaker halyard, and other side of mainsheet (note, I only work mainsheet from prt side). The other port bag contains genoa sheet, and winch handles. Generally keep the traveler lines on top of the companion way sliding cover. I keep the cunningham and outhaul at the mast. I'll probably adjust over time, and if people are interested, I'll post changes. Regards,
