I spent the fall 2018 / winter 2019 bringing her up to fighting shape again. The list of completed projects / upgrades:
INTERIOR: - New cushion covers (foam is in great shape) - All wood pulled, sanded, refinished and reinstalled - Galley unit restored - Bulkheads painted
ELECTRICAL (12V): - New main panel installed - New lights (x3) - Bow Nav LED Light installed - Garmin Striker 4 Nav/Depth/Sonar/Compass installed
EXTERIOR: - All wood pulled, sanded, refinished, and reinstalled - Hull gelcoat restored with rubbing compound - Buffed / Waxed - Bottom scraped and ready for painting - Keel painted to prevent immediate corrosion - New transom trim plate
RUNNING RIGGING: - New jib halyard - New main halyard - New boom vang assembly - New jib sheets
HARDWARE: - Masthead replaced - New keel winch - New keel wire ball
Alas, it has come time to bid the Bubble Tub adieu. This restored 1978 Catalina 22 Swing Keel Sloop is a joy to own and operate. She’s proven herself on numerous trips to the San Juans and is equally as enjoyable for day sailing. It’s the perfect starter boat for someone looking to transition from dinghies to cabin boats (myself) or for the family that doesn’t want the commitment of having a boat full-time in the harbor. For those interested in racing, she is rated at PHRF 318 for the 2020 season and took second place in the double-hand division at the Shaw Island Winter Classic.
Equipment: Sails: Jib, Genoa, Main - Anchor w/ chain and rode - Fenders - Dock lines
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
The CATALINA 22 is one of the most popular sailboats ever in anything close to this size,. 15,000 boats sold (2009)
It has been built in different plants around the world..(Known in Australia as the BOOMAROO 22.)
(A fixed keel version introduced in the early 1970’s)
A ‘New Design’ was introduced in 1986 (featuring an opt. winged keel), and MARK II in 1995.
The CATALINA 22 SPORT was released in 2003. (Originally called the CAPRI 22 swing keel.)
From a new “fairer” mold though the hull design is the same as the original CATALINA 22.
Thanks to former Catalina dealer Joe Rose and a number of others for providing additional information.
