When will you do the vid on the self tailing?

Is anyone using this with a furling headsail?

Like this video very much! I really want DIY to make this, but I couldn't find the link about the details.

Great video. Love the classic lines/look of the 22.

Once the spring line is on the dock cleat, I turn the wheel hard away from the dock, which kicks the stern toward the dock and the force vector from the spring line also pulls the bow to the dock. In addition, I attach both of my lines to the midship cleat and then just toss the loop over the selected dock cleat (that part is just personal preference).

Thank you. My winches are in need of MX.

You missed step 133. You went from step 132 to step 134. Shame on you.

Heads-up: If your 22 has the vinyl poptop cover, there are rows of snaps for it at the edges, each side, on the cabin trunk. These routinely catch shroud wire while raising the mast, and tug the mast right or left, or stop the lifting entirely, at exactly the wrong time. I've kept a stick to kick em loose, but it works to duct tape over them before raising.

I notice you had your forestay free after raising the mast. My Santana stays were both behind the mast and you did not dare to use the forestay to raise the mast. i used the topping lift..

genius. I like the fact that there is not any background music and I am able to hear your explanation.

I just stepped into the adventure and bought me a Catalina 22. I'm about to find out if I'm a DIYr not. Because I'm new I'm sure I'm going to make a ton of mistakes. I like your mask cradle. Do you have any drawings on how you made that cradle and the tools that you used?

Well done! This will be ideal for a Beneteau F235. How did you measure for the stern roller crutch? How tall,is it? How is the base secured?

Subscribed. I hope you're still around.

Enjoyed this, great video!

The link to the gin pole video is broken.

Something I do is point the boat either into or out of the wind, so a gust doesn't send the mast over the side.

Thank you a lot for this video, I need to raise the mast of my boat alone and was wondering how to do that, this video was great to know how to do it. Thanks again for sharing!

Love these YT economy builds! One company wanted $48 for (1) 1/4” fid!

Hope you still get these. I just received your Christmas blog on the Apostle Paul. Thank you, and may the Peace and Blessings of Christ be with you this Christmas season!

One question. I wonder whether the use of a "quick-release" mechanism (the "QRM") might interfere with the proper working of a furling drum on, say a CDI furler. Or might the addition of the QRM to the forestay make the forestay "too long" for the proper use of a roller-furler such as a CDI. Can you comment? Thanks in advance for all your wonderful advice and ideas! -Rick Gottlieb

Ha! Thamk you.

Thank you so much! I have been looking for just this solution!!

I see lots of videos putting the mast up. Love to see some on taking the mast down. Thanks for posting.

Where did you get the roller? Model number, or specs? Is it just a bow roller?

When I saw this man about to step a mast with the boat in the water, I knew he wasn't fucking around...

Trying to lift the mast on a Catalina 22. This has been invaluable for learning. Thank you so much.

Very Helpful - Thank you!

Question: I've got a '92 Cat22 and would like to also install a Bimini, can you make ant recommendations brandwise, and do you have it mounted forward to clear the traveller? Anything you'd change? Thanks, Tim Yours is by far the quickest mast stepping I've seen. I've rigged up a rope and pulley to duplicate it.

Thank you so very much! A couple of quick questions: 1.) Are the quick connects on the forward shrouds the same size as the main forward shroud? I purchased the front shrowd quick connect do I just purchase two more identical ones? (Catalina Direct), 2.) Do I need to purchase any additional hardware to use my main sheet as you did to connect it forward and to the forward shroud or is the hardware for connecting it to the boom the same?

I would have put a jamming to stop the forestay going adrift and crashing the mast while you connect the other stays and shouds,

Awesome vid. I need to practice this...

Thanks a bunch for the video! I'm looking to get a Catalina/Jaguar 22 and as my part of Europe has a lot of low bridges I need to know how to raise and lower the mast (fairly) easily

Most of the video was out of frame.

terrific instruction guy. voice is a gift.

Thanks!

Excellent video. Well done with the comments. (thank you for no obnoxious music) I would love to see close-ups, but haven't checked out the website yet, so hopefully they are there.

Hmmm, that is a genius system. gin poles i have used always attached to the mast. attach to the tabernackle hmmm.. i like it... boom/ginpole maybe not as much... and gin line at tabernackle at the sanctions ! great idea. i was going behind the tabernackle and dealing w/ arching of the lines , i will give this a try... ching for me... thanks for the great tips. my 1976 paceship mouete 20 has a heavy 24' mast.

what is the connection from the gin pole to teh mast? I do not see that?

Thanks for responding to ny comment!

Let's see you use it.

Thanks for the videos, can you help me? Hurricane Ian broke my forestay and auto furler and the only thing holding forward tension on the mast is my halyard attached to the forestay chain plate. Have any recommendations for safely lowering the mast without a forestay in place?

Awesome idea

Thank you

Is that the MastUp mast stepper from Catalina Direct? If so, how do you like it so far?

I have an 88 Catalina 22, there are 3 screws on top, do they just hold the cover plate in place, or, when turning, do I have to fill and drill new holes?

Im sorrry, I can,t understand how you connect the boom to the mast

So, do you have a parts list for the block and tackle that you use to raise and lower the mast? Thanks!

thanks for your videos. Can you explain that pulley system you're using? thanks again.
