I've owned my Catalina 22 since 2006. Her name is Christopher-Jin. She was built in 1977 and lovingly cared for by 2 previous owners. Like most of us, the years have taken their toll. When I got her, she was in need of some repairs and upgrades (See the ).
I'm a scientist and tinkerer and engineer. I call this site the Catalina 22 Experiment because.well.that's what the Christopher-Jin and I do. We tinker and experiment to make her a better vessel. I've tried many different things out on her and she lets me know pretty quick what works and what doesn't. If you followed the article below and are interested I tried KiwiGrip to resurface the fore deck of the Christopher-Jin. The fiberglass was wearing thin and showing the blue undercoat. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the prep and installation was.
The only caution I would give is to be careful about how much rolling you apply and how late in the drying process. The texture we produced is very aggressive.a little rough on the feet. When I do the cockpit deck I'm going to try either a quick rolling early before drying or possibly a short nap roller. 'My brother and I just bought an 81 Catalina 22 that was abandoned. It currently has a cabin half full of ice. It was allowed to sit in the back of a boat bone yard unattended and forgotten.
We are in the process of getting the water/ice out of the cabin to determine if the boat is salvageable or just a part donor. So far, it looks salvageable. I have refinished the cabin way woodwork and we will pull the motor off for maintenance this weekend. After we chip away at the ice. (We really need a good week of the temps above 60 to thaw this thing out.)'. 'We have been able to remove all of the ice. We have some but minor fiberglass damage.
A little glass work and it will be OK, so far all we have found is confined to inside the cabin on a couple of the storage compartment tops. This is from the ice expanding and cracking the glass. We have managed to get the boat out of the hole she sank into over the past two years and successfully moved her to another part of the yard where we will have water and power to continue working. The galley has been removed and is currently in my garage at home being refinished, I don't know yet if the stove and sink pump are functional but will work on them this weekend. We have managed to get all the sails from the prior owner, so at this point all that we are missing are the cushions.' Here in Michigan we have been seeing temperatures below zero F. If nothing else it certainly makes you long for summer days cruising Lake St.
I've tried something new this year for the Christopher-Jin. I'm storing her mast up. It cost a little more but I'm hoping the savings in prep time will be worth the few extra dollars. Last summer circumstances prevented getting much sail time in.

We had many improvements to our cottage and.well that's where we spent much of the summer. We also add a souped up golf cart to our fleet and did a bit of land cruising, exploring old grave yards and farm house ruins in the area just north of Port Huron. This year I hope to spend a little more time on the water.

Richard - This is a manual for a Morgan 41, circa 1978/1979. I have found it is almost identical in many respects to my 38-2, except for length (duh!), sail plan, and plumbing (the 41's had a second head).
But note that when I got my 38-2, it was from the original owner, and he had made very few modifications or changes to the original boat. For that reason, the wiring and the plumbing were both easy to figure out. If your PO had made significant upgrades, I'm not sure this source will help you much. Morgan Out Island 41 Manual.pdf. Richard, I inquired about scanning the document at the local Staples Office Supply. They can/will scan it and place the PDF file on a usb drive for fifty cents per page.
The 382 manual is 114 single sided pages. Thus the cost would be $57. This seems a bit steep to me.
I will seek other options. What price range are you willing to accept for scanning the manual? Once scanned, I prefer the digital copy over the original three ring binder. I will be happy to send you the original hard copy plus the digital file. Hi Folks: I didn't mean to take a project away from someone else but I had a little time over the holidays. I scanned our M382 Owner's Manual using a desktop scanner.
The I scanned most of the manual at 150 dpi to keep the file size manageable. I scanned the drawings at 300 dpi to improve legibility but alas, the manual is a copy of a copy and the overall quality suffers. Perhaps this can serve in the short term until someone else finds a manual in better condition. I scanned each of the chapters individually so there are a total of 8 chapters plus a two additional pages. (122 total pages). The largest file is 6.6 MB so sending by email may be a problem depending on your email settings.
I would be happy to upload the files to the group but I think it would be best to create a folder for them. Vodafone mobile wifi download. Admin: could you set that up? -Alan I also have manuals for the Perkins 4-108 and Hurth transmission but I downloaded them online. I will search for the link.
