Catalina 22 Portland Fleet #20 www.c22pdx.org The Catalina 22 fleet was chartered by the National Association (www.catalina22.org) in 1973 and is a family-style racing and cruising fleet. With over 15,500 boats built since 1969, and the hull still in production, the Catalina 22 remains a sensible, low-cost means of racing and cruising. Racing Fleet 20 has an active racing program centered around the SYSCO Spring and Summer Series, and the SYSCO One-Design Regatta in August. Cruising The fleet sails day and overnight cruises to harbors and anchorages along the Columbia River. Since the Catalina 22 is so trailerable, annual cruises to the San Juan Islands, Canadian Gulf Islands, Puget Sound, and many of the region’s lakes are common activities of fleet members. Social Activities Fleet 20 has regular social gatherings both on and off the water. During the sailing season there are always cruises, picnics and pot lucks for sharing camaraderie, experiences & techniques. In the winter, we try to schedule “Land Cruises” & other social gatherings so that we can keep in touch during the off-season. Why Join Fleet 20? Tap into a wealth of knowledge about cruising and racing your boat. In addition to the www.c22pdx.org web site, the fleet also publishes a monthly newsletter.
