There were no "buy it now"'s in their store for those 1" brackets.

I bought from him before. I put a post a while back in the swap meet because his prices were rediculously cheap.

I won the bid with no competition, so $18 shipped for a pair.

Glad you posted this. I forgot I bid on a set. 22 hours left on my auction. Hope no one bids against me. There are four other pairs listed with no bids.

 Those are what I used to store my bimini behind my backstay too. I bet I have bought 10 over the years.

I don't get this Frank. When stored this way, how does the bimini work? Shading fish?
Or do you unhook it from this position and rehook it into the position to deploy it?

It does not "work", sometimes you want to store it this way for a race, night sail, etc. It gets the thing out of the cockpit.

Got an email that mine shipped yesterday.

I was at the boat yesterday and this morning and it looks like I might be able to adjust the turnbuckles enough at each end to drop the lines to the rear legs on the pulpit without cutting the lines (but it will be close). If it works out it would be sweet because I could move them back up to the original site. Why I would want to do that is beyond me.

Here's the outcome. Surprise, I used 1/4" amsteel. :)

I first ran the lines to the front lower pulpit leg like an early model, and used a cow hitch. With the angle of the leg, and the tension, the line stays at the bottom. I then put a stopper knot behind the last leg to keep the tension. For the cockpit line, I just put a knot in a snap shackle.
The snap shackle and amsteel were the only two parts needed. Simple, cheap, and lightweight. The results were great and I don't think I'll need the rail mounts. I'll probably use them elsewhere.
Here's a pic, sorry for the size but I'm on the lake with phone.

I'll adjust the pic when I get home. As you can see, my 110 doesn't hit the line, and u can see where the original loop is way above the foot of the sail.

That looks good! I'm definitely going to have to change my lines now. The sail has really good shape now that it doesn't have to go
up and over the lifeline.

I was talking to a guy today that owns a 92 Capri 22. His pulpit has a loop attachment at the top AND the bottom, so you can attach it to either if you're racing.

My old steel lifelines weighed 9lbs. New lifelines, 1 lb.

Are you saying your forward pulpit legs don't have a welded loop near the deck. Mine has one at the top and the bottom.

Nope, just the loop at the top. That's why I thought I needed the rail mounts. Turns out the slope allowed me to just wrap the lines around the base.

Interesting. My boat was built shortly before yours. I wonder why Catalina had so many variations in construction on the same year model boats?

I think Pastmembers '89 had what looked like 2 x 4 bracing across the keel well area that helped support the sole and I assume strengthen the keel area. Mine doesn't have those braces.
