hi,im new here and just upgraded from a Mac V17 to a 1975 C22.There are a lot more controls and such on the 22 so trying to figure things out.Last owner replaced the mast to the new style with internal haylards but did not install them or provide them.I can see where they exit the mast on each side where there are spring loaded wheels.Any explainations on how to do this would help,and pictures would be a great help.Im in central NJ and a "mentor" near by would also be great!! Thanks,Matt |

Step 1. Join the national association http://www.catalina22.org/ $27.50
Step 2. Order the CD for tips on EVERYTHING on a C22 $25.00
These 2 steps will save you SEVERAL time the money you
WILL waste on trial and error rigging/repairs/upgrades.
Step 3. Check out the local fleet on the national web page. You will find very
friendly people that can help you.
Step 4. Join in on a local cruise or regatta. you will find that although the C22 is
a one design no 2 boats are the same and you will get more ideas.
Step 5. Have fun.
Oh by the way I used 3 pieces of 1/2 pvc to run through the mast and pull the
haylards back through. The grey stuff with flared ends is cheap and you don't need glue. |

Robert has a great list of tips. I've never bought the cd, but have been around various boats (race and cruise) and dissected a few arrangements that I liked. I've found it useful to wander around a lot of boats to see what looks good and not.
Here's a shot of my halyard exit. I used a mast base plate from Catalina Direct to secure the turning blocks. I like the way it keeps all the compression loads on the mast instead of the deck. The white w/blue line is my jib halyard.

There's quite a few photos of my boat. Have a look around and be sure to check out the links at www.catalina22.org! Great info there!

thanks guys,dave let me ask u this..need to walk thru the process so...
from the top of the jib for instance.haylard goes over a block and down the mast,comes out the exit block? goes thru a block like urs on the mast plate,i have one on the deck ..then where do u cleat it off when the sail is raised?
my exit blocks are spring loaded and there are small strings on each??
then when you lower the sail what do u do with each end of the haylards?
obviosly my old boat had external haylards.

Matthew,
You have the right idea. The halyard exits my mast about 2 feet above the deck, goes through the block at the base and then heads for the side of the cabin top:

Next, the line heads aft along the hand rails to sheet stoppers at the aft edge of the cabin top:

Here's a shot of the mast truck. I have all 3(jib, main, spinnaker) halyards let internal
