I bought my 28mkii 4 years ago with the in mast furling. It has been great. I would strongly recommend it. It is true that your performance will suffer a...
I've stayed out of this discussion until now but there is another issue, that being the way in mast furling will change the stability of the boat. On Page 42...
Does anyone know the best site to use to find out avaerage boat prices? When I am shopping for a car I look on Edmunds.com, I'm wondering if a similar site...

Faith, if you're looking at a C-28, you could probably get very realistic advice on price (and more) from this forum. Any guide can provide a range to a...
Sorry so late to chime in but I have been away in the desert. Â I have used VertiGlass and Poli-Glow on several boats and agree pretty much with what has been...
A contributing factor to the loss of masts was the fact that the C28 originally came with only 2 lower shrouds that were anchored into the cabin top instead of...
Attached is a picture of my 92 hull #253 that was waxed with Meguiar's paste wax. If you look near the stern at the waterline you can see reflections off the...
I checked with Catalina Parts after I bought my boat in 2007 (1992 #222, standard rig ) and they eventually sent me a gratis reinforcement plate kit. If I...
Lew, she looks terrific. I, too, enjoy looking at that part of our boat when the sun is out to see the water's reflection. It encourages me to continue...
All, Just confirming that Encore #26, 1990, wing keel, tall rig broke her mast at the halyard exit slots in 2000. We were close hauled, not reefed, with a 135...
Probably Catalina is the only place that might know the affected hulls but even they may not and if they do know they may or may not care to say. Garry...
Hello I don't have information on which hull #s were affected but we have hull #235 a 1992 and we are the original owners. She is not a tall rig and does have...

Hi Lew, I notice in the pic that you appear to have a back stay adjuster? Is that the case? If so, can you share the details of your set-up? And do you get a...
Well, I sent an e-mail to Catalina, and I also am sorry to say since the boat is new to me I had to go and look at a photo, it does have double spreaders. I...
What I used was a boom vang attached to the turnbuckle & a triangle with blocks on the split backstay. A better way of attaching it on the bottom is to replace...
