Ahoy there!

I have a question regarding parts as I restore my beloved "Waddles". I have owned her for 5+ years and she has sat next to the house under cover waiting for me to get her sea worthy, if you all do not mind?

I am aware of Catalina Direct and others and will be a very frequent customer during the next few months as I work on "Waddles".

But for some of the replacement items does a person need to go to a Catalina Dealer or can one order directly from Catalina?

I recently hit the rip old age of 47 and finally discovered that time is slipping by me when one of my 5 grand kids asked "Grandpa was does a Sailboat do in the driveway".

WOW, what an eye opener that was for me.

Sorry for going on and on, but I finally realized I have a great crew waiting for me to complete and launch her.

Thanks!

Don't feel badly, Craig. I was 53 when I saw a bumper sticker that read "Don't Postpone Joy" I stopped dreaming about my boat after 30 years and bought her.

Here's an altruistic rationale: Imagine that you've met an early demise... You don't want your family to feel guilty because "he/she always wanted to ______________ but never did."

Every day is a gift--I know too well.

You may find that Catalina doesn't do emails very well. Use the phone or a fax if you don't get a reply to your email.

I sent a request to Catalina for some new Companionway Interior and Exterior Trim via fax.

The next day Catalina called and they told my wife that they no longer carry these teak parts and was told to call HL @ (327)636-1718.

Has anyone been directed to them?

These trim pieces do not look hard to replicate and I was thinking of maybe making them out of another type of wood.

Anyone have any suggestions on wood type?

Thanks!

I found this information on the web, wondering if anyone has ever ordered any parts from them?

I had trouble understanding some of your questions, but try the Manuals & Brochures link on the upper-left side of this page. You can also try the Search function (above) using words like "wiring" and selecting the C-25 Specific Forum to see many discussions that might be helpful. You might even want to let some of your scouts post questions about the project here--ideally in a new "topic" so it will be noticed by all. We'd like to hear from them! (Kids generally know how to get around a site like this better than we old folks! )

Good luck with your project!

Craig,
Don't feel too bad about the age thing. I have been around boats most of my life, but mostly power ones, or kayaks and such. We had the opportunity to join my wife's sister and her husband in St. Maren and sail with them 2 years ago. I got hooked and bought one at the young age of 55. I feel like a kid again when I am on the water. It's the fun that counts, not the age.

I have heard that name a lot, I think Catalina Direct uses them as well. Your comment about the port and starboard companionway trim pieces has me confused. I recall them as a complex shape on the pre-89 boats. In 89 they changed over to a simple board with no routing except for design aesthetics. I have bought from Buck Wood in Florida and they have a custom shop, they quoted me $450 for crib boards.

Sorry Frank, I was just talking about the trim pieces and not the Crib Boards.

I sent H & L a fax this morning so it is a waiting game at this point.

Mike, I like your statement "It's the fun that counts, not the age". My wife keeps saying I am just an old big kid :)

I was using the crib boards as a reference point on the cost of custom teak work. Let us know what H&L says. Split and broken trim pieces are pretty much a constant across our boats.
