FIND THE RIGHT SAIL FOR YOU

CATALINA FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A:

There is no fixed price because every sail is built to your exact Catalina specification, including the sail type you need and the material you choose. A new mainsail for a Catalina 22 sits at a very different level from a full inventory for a Catalina 425. The best way to get an accurate figure is to request a custom sail quote and tell us your model, sailing style, goals, and one of our North Sails experts will get back to you with a quote.

A:

We build to the known specifications of your specific Catalina, from the Catalina 22 through to the 470, so the sail is shaped for your rig from the first hoist. If anything needs confirming, your local loft can take or check measurements before the sail goes into production. Just share your model when you request a quote and we will match the design to your boat.

A:

It depends on how you use the boat. For relaxed coastal cruising, woven Dacron gives proven durability and value. If you want better shape-holding for longer, NPL TOUR laminate or 3Di OCEAN move performance up while staying easy to handle. Most Catalina owners cruise, so we usually narrow it to two sensible options. The sail material guide explains the differences, or ask your North Sails expert when you request a quote.

A:

Yes. Older Catalinas like the 22, 25, 27 and 30 are among the most common boats we build for, and being out of production is no problem. We build to your exact model and rig and your local loft can verify measurements where original records are limited. Find your nearest loft or request a quote with your model and year to get started.

A:

It depends on how often you sail, the conditions you sail in and how the sails are stored and cared for. Woven Dacron is robust and forgiving, while 3Di holds its shape for longer across its life. Care matters most, so regular checks, correct furling and proper off-season storage all add years. Your local loft can inspect your sails and handle any repairs or servicing to keep them performing.
