Good afternoon. I'm new to the Catalina world and have learned some tips from this forum. Our 1987 Catalina 22, sail number 13928, is our first boat and we purchased her in August 2003. So far, we've just been cruising locally on Lake Michigan when winds are below 15 and wave heights below 3. We had been chartering Hunter 31s & 33s with wheel steeringand it sure is different in our Catalina 22. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with a newbie. vincesullivan@hotmail.com
