Title: From Island Bound to Bearly A-Wake
Post by: kwaltersmi on October 21, 2013, 06:42:22 PM
I've been lurking for months, and actively participating in the forum since late August or so, but I thought it was time to officially introduce our new Catalina 34...

Great looking boat with wonderful carving on the companionway doors and a nice modern finish on the interior cushions.  We'll look forward to seeing you anchored at Heywood Island or elsewhere in the North Channel next summer!   :thumb:

It is indeed lifted by two slings, one aft and one forward. It's hard to see the forward sling in the picture.  There's also a loose end of one strap shown on the right side of the photo which makes it look a little confusing too, but the set up is the common travel-lift 2-sling method.

Admit it.
Catalina 34's are so nice they defy gravity.
