[C320-list] Fwd: Catalina replacement parts. C 320 #851

[Warren Updike]

Wow! Boat stuff gets expensive.  
1. Once I priced plastic mirrors on a web site and it was $75 for a sheet
that was roughly 3x5'.  Recently, we replaced the mirror behind the sink and
I think Pattie found one at HD or Lowes for $10/12. It was slightly larger;
but, we were able to use the lower holes and re-drilled the others. I didn't
bother to round the corners. It looks just fine.

2. Sail: no comment (bet you didn't expect that from me)

3. Sail cover: after some local research, I ordered a custom made sail cover
from catalinaowners.com and paid $400.  It included all  their upgrades:
Tanara thread, ss twist locks rather than Velcro, and whatever.  It was made
to my measurements, was well crafted, and fit like a glove.  They are aware
of the difficulty of measuring and making a custom product remotely, and
seem very willing to do what it takes to do it right.  Irv, if you want more
specific info on how to do the measurements, e-mail me off-list and I'll
tell you what I learned.

All, For whatever its worth I just got this quote (in one day) from Kent
Nelson in engineering at Catalina.
I think that the price is high compared to other sources.
I have lost the answers you gave me when I asked for sources.

Irving,
    For the mirror I would go to H & L Woodworking.  You can talk to Ron
there at 323-636-1718.  He will need some measurements to make one up, but I
believe they still have the stock mirror material to make the replacement.
The full batten main is our part number 37780 and it sells for $2,413.  To
add dutchman flaking to the sail it would be an additional $500.  Lead time
is about 4 weeks these days, so a spring delivery should be easily
achieved.  The mainsail cover made out of the Captain Navy Sunbrella is our
part number 15218 and sells for $612.  Forward this to
dani at catalinayachts.com to order the sail and the cover.  Include your
shipping address and she will call you for payment information when they are
ready to ship.

Good Sailing,

Kent
Our 2001 Catalina 320 is #851.

I don't know if you are the correct one to receive this request, but you
were most responsive to me when we were installing our rudder position
sensor.
If your are not the correct person that this is addressed to, will you
please forward it and advise me as to whom I should contact in this matter.

1. Can Catalina supply the small mirror that is between the sink and
medicine cabinet in the head. The silvering on ours was never good but it
has deterioted to the point that it needs replacing. Price and availability,
please?

2.  After 10 years our mainsail has pretty much blown out and is starting to
tear in places.
We would like to replace our full batten. Dutchman, fixed foot with logo and
sail numbers with the current manufacturing main model if it would fit our
boat.
In order to get the best price, we would order for a late Spring delivery so
as to not upset your current build schedule

3. Also please quote a sail cover with C320 logo in the Catalina standard
deep blue color.

Thanking you in advance and looking forward to your reply.
