Awesome. Im in San Diego and going to do similar with Catalina I'm buying

Wonder if the sea gods enjoy the weapon of mass destruction

I am fixing to buy boat thanks for ur advice

Y'all still sailing? If so, I'd like to see more adventures!

Looks like fun! We don't get to see you docking, but it seems like you've gotten it down. How did you get good at docking? Did you have a coach in the beginning?

I like your positive vibe. And the dog!

Looks like pukey point alright

What happened? No more videos!

Hello I own Catalina 30 hull 203 1976. I had that the same exhaust trouble once . Made it to the dock. Warning for you. Get rid of that carpet in the event of getting wet it falls apart and plugs the bilge pump. I replaced my A4 With a diesel. No more boat smell. I have a ray marine auto pilot on my tiller. Works great. Also one improvement I made was making a little shelf on hinges. That 10” helps alot when cooking

Rechargeable, no batteries. Lol correction. There is a battery. Hence rechargeable

Hi there! Thank you for posting this video. I am about to venture on my first Catalina smile repair. What epoxy products did you use? I noticed there was a white "structural compound" and another red colored product you used. Thank you in advance!

Nice video. We enjoyed our time in Catalina

nice job

Good video! Glad you had Farmer Jack to save the day!

Deck hand Jack at the tiller! Thanks for helping El Jefe

Awesome video 🤩

I have a 1981 C30 Tall rig as well(hull#2239). I noticed when I first got it that it was difficult to hoist the main the last 1'-2'. I found easing the outhaul and also easing the vang enough so the boom can go just above horizontal helped tremendously. Also, if not already done, installing ball bearing sheaves at the mast head help as does cleaning the mast track and applying a dry lube like Mc Lube Sailkote. I have a stack pack now and the sail goes up and down like butter. I head to wind, open the halyard clutch and its falls into the bag all on its own. I would love to see more of the interior of your boat. It looks amazing, especially for its age. Nice choice!

Thank you and where is Shoreline? Elliott probably knows but I don’t 🙃

We are in Shoreline nice video

Well done! Salty Dog credits definitely earned!

Hoping you get to live your dream soon!

Either way your having a better time than me! Living my dream, lucky guy

Expensive…”Part of being a boat owner.” Once again you have to pay to play rings true! 😅

Fantastic sailing couple.

Nice job! How much do you figure you saved doing the repairs yourself? Do you clean the bottom monthly or have a service?

Great video! Really cool watching how you get the boat in and out of the water. And the boat looked brand new at the end. Very pretty.

If I can offer some advice, you need to full hoist the sail when starting out, there should not be any scallops/sags in the luff - your mainsail is not fully raised. Crank the main halyard until you see a crease down the luff - a small crease on a light air day, a big crease on a breezy day. And absolutely run the reefing lines for your two reef settings, and reef the main when the sail gets hard to control. I'd rig out the permanent topping lift for your boom, or add one if some some reason yours has disappeared. The topping lift holds the boom horizontal when you are putting a reef in/out Check ou7t czcams.com/video/yTHdfe7l5mM/video.html

Hola mi nombre es Abel Fernandez Bernach y acabo de ver su video de presentacion y me encantaria un dia poder tener mi propio catalina 30 como ustedes pues de todos los barcos que he estudiado es el modelo y tipo que me sigue convenciendo,en que precios estan rondando este tipo de embarcacion gracias

Ok that was awesome. Thank you for posting. We just bought a Catalina 30 anyways we love your video’s keep up the good work

Omg I’m over here holding my heart! Thankful y’all are safe safe safe!!!!! Glad you explained it bc I know this will help another family!!

Love this shot of all three of you! Feeling like I’m here with y’all!!! Keep showing that stuff! So good!!!!!

Snowy cracks me up! Not worried about a thing!

What were the winds that day? Assume you guys use some kind of a marine forecast to determine go or no go??? Have you actually practiced a real “captain overboard” rescue? One “lucky”wind gust away from having to do it for real…Murphy’s Law!

looking at a cat 30 myself. will be my first boat. what are some things to look for when searching for a used one?

He should be happy that it's an Atomic 4! Extremely reliable, cheaper fuel, 30 hp, I wish my boat still had its Atomic 4, a previous owner took it out.

Looks very fun and glad you had a relaxing day!

you chose a great boat. super easy to work on I beyond love my catalina

And you guys are so cute!!

Great video even though a little stinky🤮. Love the heart valve explanation! Could actually relate to my mother. Glad you got your problem fixed!

What’s next on the repair list and where is the next sailing destination?

Out of the 145 miles, how much under sail? How much by motor? Thx.

How much is the slip rental?

Nice job with the “landing!” Always tricky…😅

Love your adventures!

Loved this one! So peaceful looking. Thanks for sharing 😊

Loved your content. Reminds of years ago. I miss the ocean and the California coast. I think Cal Lutheran has a video editing course you could really use.. I would like to see you succeed.
