COMMISSIONING
The launching and rigging of the Catalina 22 is best handled by experienced boat yard personnel under
direction of your authorized dealer. However, if you are not in a location where he can assist you, the
steps to prepare your new boat for sailing are not difficult, and you can do it yourself by reading this
manual and the General Handbook and following the recommended procedures.
Be sure to read the section on trailering and launching (pages 3 and 9 in this book and pages 6 through
11 in the General Handbook) before towing your boat to the launching site.
STEPPING THE MAST
When trailering your boat, always try to undo as little rigging as possible.
For instance, in the case of the Catalina 22 it is necessary only to undo the
two forward lower shrouds and the forestay before lowering the mast.
1. Before raising mast, ensure that halyards are neatly tied down and
that they are on proper sides of the spreaders. You should never
attempt to raise the mast unless the upper shrouds (those that pass
over the spreaders) and the aft lower shrouds are attached to the
deck fittings and the turnbuckles well "started" into their barrels. The
turnbuckles must not be completely tightened however, because
slack is needed in the shrouds to enable the mast to be fully raised.
The backstay should be attached to the transom fitting. The upper
shrouds, aft lower shrouds, and backstay will keep the mast from
falling over when it's raised, therefore, all of these must be attached
