I leased one from Dana Point via Catalina Island to Santa Barbara Islands for a couple of weeks and had a wonderful sailing, living experience. Sailing her was so much fun.

Great video! very helpful as we have the same boat. Head and galley are the correct terms.

A spring rod would work great to keep you things from tumbling off.

Very professional tour. I'm glad you love the boat. There's nothing like a crossing to prove you selected the right home.

she's and he's both floating realestate sales people. REALESTATE BROKERS lying, bending the light of sanity

Thank you! And we agree- a passage is a make or break and our passage sealed the deal! 😊

Very nice boat- set up well for single or double hand. Very professional video. I’ve watched you since the first one and I’m glad you are keeping at it! ❤

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much. Thanks for sticking around! We have learned a lot filming wise and sailing wise since those first videos! ⛵️🎥

I'm catching up bc I was sick. Beautiful boat. I'm amazed at how you can get 30 minutes of words into 15...lol... have a great week...🤣🤣🤣

Great video and really nice boat. Currently on a 36 but I got my eye on a 42 long-term. You can replace all the solar fans with the new ones, should be a direct replacement and they have a switch where you can do intake outtake and off. Wind Scoops only work when it's windy

Hello fellow Catalina owner! Welcome- thank you!

@christopherhutchings9621 5 месяцев назад

Finally! An explanation and critique of mast, or boom furling EXCELLENT 👍👍

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Glad you appreciated that! 😊

I loved the tour! I can't wait for a select few to absolutely lose their minds over the "kitchen". The thumb nails have been perfect. Fair winds

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Hahaha it will forever be a kitchen to me! 🙃😉

They make an elastic netting for keeping stuff on those larger shelves .works great !

Thank you Jerry!

@TheRealBigfeet 5 месяцев назад

As someone who knows less than nothing about sailing , this was a very informative video about how after quite a lengthy passage you’ve studied considered and setup your new boat. it’s been very interesting watching the run up to the crossing the abortive attempt and then the final crossing with all its challenges Very well done.

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! So glad it was helpful! 😊

@oliversmith-xq5yt 5 месяцев назад

Also those mics are very professional lol

@TheAtma50 5 месяцев назад

Hi guys, Great video, if the sailing gig doesn't work out, a job in video production and tour guide will be a good fall back. Stay Safe & Fair Winds!! ☘

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Hahahaha glad to know we have a good fall back career! 🤪

@patrickjohn2990 5 месяцев назад

Great boat tour. Love your boat. I have the baby sister to the 42, the Catalina 390 and love it. Catalina’s are well built boats and also sails well. Like you, I also have the 3 cabins and use one as our garage. It keeps to boat tidy especially on passages. The vents are solar vents. I only have one but it’s under the dodger so I don’t have the water problem. You can change to the cowl vent or dorade box vent. Fair winds and following seas!

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Awe-a baby sister! 🥺 what’s our baby sister’s name? And thank you- we love the 3 berth set up. I also love the idea of calling it out “garage.” That’s much cooler than “storage unit.”

@ryanh4889 5 месяцев назад

Great tour! Well done. For the fwd shower sump pump you could change it over to a Whale Gulper 320. It does not need a strainer or filter and can run dry without damage.

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Oh interesting! Thanks for the tip- that would be nice!

@jamesb.funkiii5647 Месяц назад

Thank you, great job! I’m looking to buy a 42 with Double cabin which will work possibly better since I’m singlehanding. Why not create simple covers with a drawstring or shock cord in the hem for the vent? I also bet you could put traditional Dorade vents in those spots. Looking forward to following your next adventures!

@sailingposttime Месяц назад

Thank you! Exciting for you- this boat is awesome you’ll love it! Thanks for the ideas!!

@Sailnationuae 3 месяца назад

Hi! Just discovered your channel. Great tour! We have a 94 C42 and she has done a circumnavigation with previous owners and is fully set up for off-grid. The C42’s are an exceptional and FAST offshore boat despite many saying she’s not “bluewater” spec. We sailed the Indian Ocean last year during the monsoon season with sustained 30knot+ winds and 5m seas and she was amazing. We are cutter rig with inmast furler which we aren’t a fan of 😅 Note: Your vents should have originally been cowl vents, which is what we have and they will give more ventilation than those solar ones (and don’t leak!) Hope to see you out on the seas one day. Fair winds from SY Freya hull #441 ❤

@sailingposttime 3 месяца назад

Wow that’s awesome! Sounds like we both picked pretty awesome boats. ❤️😉 glad to know she is sturdy!

@markbernier8434 5 месяцев назад

A very interesting video. I am pretty sure those round solar vents are broken. From time to time use both heads. if left unused seals can dry or stick and then when you do need it, project time.

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Good point about the bathroom….🤔 not a bad idea!

@dirk3730 5 месяцев назад

Great tour, great boat guys. Am interested in Seth's opinion on the Pullman birth, in my experience the person on the outside loves it which was me. The one on the inside, not so much 😂 cheers guys. Hope you get to cruise soon ❤

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Haha! Surprising Seth prefers to sleep on the inside of the Pullman. But I agree….I like the outside of the Pullman! 🙃

@petermcmullan7059 3 месяца назад

Great tour….. we have the same. Where’s your trash can?? Thanks Peter

@sailingposttime 3 месяца назад

The trash is next to the seat across from the galley on the side. It is attached with a clever little system with an elastic cord to ensure it doesn’t move when sailing. Previous owner designed that and it works great for us!

@svestancia 5 месяцев назад

Your boat originally came with standard cowl vents, they obviously were replaced with those Marinco solar vents, which apparently are not that good… if not mistaken, you can switch the blades, so you can use them to extract or pull in some air …. The one in the head obviously should extract air…

@user-retsailor 5 месяцев назад

Yes, I think the 42 is the best size Catalina has for coastal cruising or more. I actually like the single berth on starboard side and then, storage on the port side but, you have the option to open that port side into a berth where I would not. I also like the pullman berth up forward with that large head/shower; I would use them exactly as you explained. Nice boat. Curious, did it handle well in heavy weather during your passage ? I think a full battened main with a stack pack and lazy jacks would be better but, that's just me.

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Thank you! We love the boat designs you mentioned for those very reasons! Held very well in tough weather. We had one time where the sail temporarily got stuck going in, but it was fixed pretty quickly! So far we can’t complain!

@SailingSea-renity 5 месяцев назад

Another great video. Thanks for the tour, I have been watching for a while and happy to say that I just purchased a 1992 Catalina 42 same layout as yours. I felt that I knew a lot more about the boat going into the purchase because of watching your videos. While I am not sure I will be sailing to Hawaii anytime soon I will be now coastal cruising on the California coast. Safe travels to both of you. www.youtube.com/@SailingSea-renity

@SailingMentalTherapy 5 месяцев назад

I have really enjoyed watching your adventure and as I am just beginning mine. The decision on what will work best for me is still a process and I am wondering what year is your Catalina 42 is?

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Yes deciding is the toughest part! Our Catalina is the MK1 model and is 1993

@toomasnelson4561 5 месяцев назад

those solar fans don't work, get rid of them and put wind scoops in for sure.

@kptbillburkett8735 5 месяцев назад

Go look at what "Spirit Animal " did. I believe it is the best answer for most sail boat's. Ok until next time Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Ooooo? Did ya'll sale the othere boat? Aloha

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Not yet, but she is listed for sale and we have some people interested 😊

@mrricar666 2 дня назад

It’s not a kitchen, it’s a galley!

@JohnBraman413 5 месяцев назад

does that tracking system work with 130, 150 genoas?

@sailingposttime 5 месяцев назад

Not sure if it would work with other Genoa sizes. Ours is made for our 110% jib. But I’m sure they can custom make them depending on the boat and sail size

@gatesstephens4376 5 месяцев назад

No. They will need jib tracks for an overlapping head sail. That boat however is not really designed for a overlapped headsail. Code sails and assymeterics for off aind work.
