PREFACE
This manual is intended and supplied to help owners of Catalina Yachts
understand their boats and answer common questions about maintenance and
systems design specific to their boat.
This manual is not intended to provide sailing instructions. It is assumed the
operator will consult books written for that purpose, or take sailing lessons
or courses to gain knowledge necessary for the safe operation of the vessel.
The systems descriptions and illustrations in this manual apply to boats built
at the time of publication. Our policy of constant improvement necessitates
that changes have been made to the boat since its introduction. Therefore,
these illustrations and descriptions may not apply to boats built before the
time of publication.
Owners of earlier hulls, who have questions not answered herein should
consult with their local Catalina dealer, or write to, or e-mail Catalina
Yachts. Please include your hull number in all correspondence.
The maintenance check lists contained within this manual are intended as
guidelines for boats in normal service under typical conditions.
Climate and use will vary and may require additional or special
maintenance. Consult with your local boat yard or Catalina dealer for
specific maintenance and precautions recommended for your purposes and
climate.
Caution: The aluminum and other metal parts conduct electricity. Coming
in contact with or near an electrical power line or lightening can cause
severe injury or death. Stay away from overhead electrical power lines
when sailing and!or launching the boat.
