Change out the mid stay chain plates...

I've bought them from Catalina Direct and now to find a day above 50 degrees without rain to get on it.

I'm thinking I'll replace the rudder with a new balanced one from Catalina Direct. Surprisingly, their price is less than Ruddercraft.

I swapped the standard for the balanced rudder years a go and what a difference! Definitely worth the money and I too bought from CD and it was shipped from Ruddercraft.

Very seriously thinking about to changing to mid boom sheeting. Mounting traveler just behind and below companionway opening.
