I have a Catalina 22 and am interested in rigging it for some single-handed sailing. I have some Ideas as to how I might do this but would sure like the oportunity to talk to someone who has actually made these mods (such as running all sail controls back to the cockpit). Input from anyone with a comparable sized boat would also be appreciated but I am chiefly concerned with some of the structural problems that may be created (for instance, with mounting winches pm the pop-top). Thanks, -- Scott Sendlein UUCP: ihnp4!cbosgd!ukma!ukecc!scott Voice: (606) 257-1752 Rm. 280 Anderson Hall Univ. of Kentucky College of Engr. Lexington, KY 40506-0046

I placed blocks at the foot of the mast, lined up turning blocks with a winch on the deck house roof. I placed this winch to the starboard of the pop- top so it would not interfier with its operation. A couple stoppers and a halyard bag completed the project. Works great good luck and good sailing.
