any chance you have a folding or feathering prop - I had problems like that
..the prop not operating correctly and placing a big load on the engine.
BTW the tech took a stick and jammed it against the couping to see if the
problem was the prop or transmission

Have not raced.
Have used an 80% Sobstad in winds over 25k repeatedly. Works well with one
reef in main.
I have (hull 218) cabin top tracks. Problem is they do not provide a good
lead to either cabin top winches or to primary winches.

You can buy the gauges and freon at any auto parts store and at Sears. There
is a high pressure side and a low pressure side and fittings at the
compressor. You can probably google instructions, or find them in the
public library for certain. The compressor will have the labeling for the
correct kind of refrigerant. One major problem with a leak is that if the
pressure goes to zero, moister can enter the system and it will not
function.

I have a 90% and agree with Adam completely (my genny is 160), but when
winds are up that high who really cares about sheet angles (or is it
Angels?)? A reef and a small head sail really works great.? OBUOY #219

We are beginning racers and don't have a lot of experience but we do OK with
a 105% headsail, as a previous power boater I'm still trying to convince
myself that more power isn't always the answer. The previous owner owned
and raced extensively on numerous boats and claimed that the 105 was his
favorite headsail on the 320. The boat stayed upright and went like a
freight train. We run the sheets through the lower jib car in a forward
position, then to the upper lead and then to the clew.
More power is good-right. I'm on a real expensive learning curve. Being
new at the game and having a newer shorthanded crew, three weeks ago we
managed to shred a brand new assymetrical spinnaker. The good thing was
that there were no injuries and everyone stayed dry. That was even more
exciting than getting a sheet bound in the prop with 25+ knot wind the next
week.
I love this sport, it's to bad that it took so long to discover it.

My 1993 Catalina has the Perkins engine and Hurth gearbox. At the end of
the season last year it would instantly stall out when placed in reverse.
Over the winter I took the transmission out and opened it up. Everything
looked find (not metal filings etc). I replaced all the gaskets and it was
also suggested that the damper plate be replaced as this was usually the
cause of such a failure. Well today, I installed the overhauled tranny and
same result.
Any other thoughts out there?

Hello All,
Well I have never had a need to use the cabin top tracks - I guess we
will save it for our #5 sail (storm Jib).
We have done a mix of things depending on crew size, experience, etc.
On windy days (18 - 28 kts) for the Wednesday night races we will
actually furl the 150% headsail up wind - but then on the downwind
legs we unfurl the head sail and FLY to the mark. On the more distant
races we go the #3 sail (Jib) and do sail peals to switch sails.
For winds 15 kts to about 8 kts we go with the Heavy genoa sail - the
more sail area the better for racing. Anything less we will get
creamed. Under 8 kts we go to a light air Spectra based sail which
does work wonders.
I imagine once my boat in in San Francisco Harbor we will have far
more windy days (>15 kts) than light air days. FYI - the big move is
June 4; launch around June 30.
Shredding spinnakers - ouch! Sheet on the prop - double ouch! Now you
must behave young man!
Best Regards,
Andrew

I guess I should clarify. My primary jib is a 100% which is combined with
one or two reefs. Only fly the 80% when winds predicted to be high for a
substantial period.

Dave,
I am new to the C320 list and just checking to see if I'm able to get a

If you do receive this message, would you please reply.
I am sending directly to you because I had a few questions regarding the
Spade Anchor and your bow roller.
Thanks for you time.

Barb,
Thanks for the reply.
I thought that I was e-mailing directly to Dave Anderer, but I guess it
bounces through the C320 list.
A while back, (2005) Dave had posted an e-mail with the subject matter
directed toward the Spade Anchor. There was only one reply, by a Russell
Monaco. And in Russell's response he mentioned a friend who has a Spade
anchor on his C36 (S/V Breathless).
...I apologize for the round about thread, I'm just trying to get in touch
with someone who has had some first hand experience with this anchor and
modifications to their bow roller for storage.
In general, there are only a few photo's on the internet of the Spade Anchor
on the bow roller.
If anyone else has experience with this anchor, any information would be
appreciated.
The actual question here is: Which bow roller are people using for the Spade
and if modified, how ?
Thanks again,
Keith

There's a great article on the website (although I'm not exactly sure how to
find it) by Mark Yeager, Quantum sailmaker somewhere in Texas. He recommends
a light #1 (155%), heavy #1 (150%) and a #3 (120%) with extensive discussion
as to his rationale. The article is entitled RIG TUNE AND SAIL SELECTION FOR
CATALINA 320 and appeared a few years ago. It's worth the read.

Subject: Re: [C320-list] #3 Headsail
Hello All,
Well I have never had a need to use the cabin top tracks - I guess we
will save it for our #5 sail (storm Jib).
We have done a mix of things depending on crew size, experience, etc.
On windy days (18 - 28 kts) for the Wednesday night races we will
actually furl the 150% headsail up wind - but then on the downwind
legs we unfurl the head sail and FLY to the mark. On the more distant
races we go the #3 sail (Jib) and do sail peals to switch sails.
For winds 15 kts to about 8 kts we go with the Heavy genoa sail - the
more sail area the better for racing. Anything less we will get
creamed. Under 8 kts we go to a light air Spectra based sail which
does work wonders.
I imagine once my boat in in San Francisco Harbor we will have far
more windy days (>15 kts) than light air days. FYI - the big move is
June 4; launch around June 30.
Shredding spinnakers - ouch! Sheet on the prop - double ouch! Now you
must behave young man!
Best Regards,
Andrew
