We are looking for a cockpit grate for our 1986 Catalina 34, anyone have suggestions?  We live in Ontario Canada.

Take a look at the Buy / Sell section of the website, I am selling my cockpit grates.  Feel free to email me at plautzjm@hotmail.com if you are intrested.  I can tell you that the shipping may be the most difficult part, but it is doable.  Here is the link http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,3522.0.html , if you want I am willing to sand and refinish with a diffrent type of Cetol finish. Let me know.

This another option: a full teak cover installed in the Netherlands by my Dutch Catalina dealer.

I  got the same set when my wife's cousin saw them in an antique shop in Conn.
I refinished them and they look great

My 1987 that I purchased out of Sandusky last year has identical grates.  I refinished them and used Cetol.  After a fair amount of research, I determined that was probably the best finish to hold up year after year with the water exposure. So far, so good.
