When used for the Catalina 28, this wire was hoisted using an internal line halyard exiting at the masthead. The line is tied to the top thimble and the wire is hoisted to a point near the top of the mast.

The early Catalina 30 used this vinyl coated wire attached at the masthead next to the backstay. It was adjusted at the aft end of the boom with a line that cleats on the boom.

To fabricate this new topping lift, we start with corrosion resistant stainless steel wire (vinyl coated) Then add the correct fittings at the ends and heat shrink the crimps.

1)Since there were several designs of topping lift used on both the Catalina 28 and the Catalina 30, be sure to check your boat before ordering to ensure this part is appropriate for your application.

2) This is a custom made part. You provide the information we need to build this product for you. Once you order it we are going to build it just for you, just as you asked. We never want to see it again, and no one else wants it either. So be careful and order it correctly the first time because it can't be canceled, returned, or magically changed into something different!

3) A 50% deposit will be billed when your order for this item is accepted. The balance will be billed when the product ships.
