Laura,
Thanks for the response. I did sign up for a three year membership. One of the reasons I purchased the 36 was because of the strong Association. Thanks.

    Changing Your Contact Information on the Website

    Two of the many benefits of being a C36/C375 IA member are that you receive items like Mainsheet Magazine and our electronic newsletter, JibSheet. However, I’m sure you can appreciate the challenges in keeping both a snail mail and email address database up to date for almost 700 members. It would be easy if we all stayed in one place, but the reality is that we often change home ports.


    Mainsheet Magazine

    Catalina's Mainsheet magazine is sent out FREE to members in good standing of any Catalina national or international association! Such a deal!

    History of the Catalina 36 International Association

    by Bob McCullough
    November, 1997
    (edited December 2010)

    Catalina 36! What thoughts are provoked when we hear those words spoken? When did Frank Butler (Catalina Yachts) build the first Catalina 36? When did the National Association come into being? When were the local fleets first formed?

    To find the solution to these questions I went in search of answers. A call to Catalina Yachts elicited the answer that hull #1 was built in 1982 as a 1983 model. And as of November 1997, 1,687 Catalina 36s have been built! [Ed Note: Hull #2305, the last C36 made, was completed in November 2006]
