For all of you who are new to this sport and this 'site, I also urge you to ask any boat specific questions on the individual boat [size] ASSOCIATION websites. If you have a Catalina, you can find their individual Associations at, usually, www.c[boat size, like: 22, 25-250, 30, 310, 320, 34, 36, 38, etc.].ORG, sometimes .net. If you ever find yourself typing this to start a question: "Has anybody ever done..." you can almost bet it's been discussed on the associations' individual websites. This is not to take away the great importance of this spectacular website, just to to remind you that perhaps you may choose to use complementary resources, and do some checking before and during your research.
