Membership Benefits
Membership in the Catalina 320 International Association
Why join the C320IA?
The Catalina 320 International Association works to keep owners educated and informed about our boat and her systems, allowing owners to sail safely, with fewer problems, and to maintain high resale values. Every member is important to the association and a strong association is important ownership asset.
Improvements made recently include:
- Jeff Hare continues to redesign and improve our website. Features include improved user interface with the photo gallery, improved organization and access of technical information, PayPal support of the ship’s store and membership fees, event management, classified ads, and online voting.
- Created the C320 Toolbox Managed by Bruce Stumpp. We are now loaning custom, job-specific tools, free to association members. Many of these are tools that you will only need to use rarely, for specific maintenance tasks, but having them available can save you big money and allow you to tackle jobs that you might otherwise pay to have done.
- Plus, the website hosts a very active discussion list.
- Included in your membership is a subscription to the all-Catalina quarterly magazine, Mainsheet.
- Free association decals for your boat and car publicize our organization and website.
- C320IA burgees available at cost from the association ship’s store and a 50% discount on your BoatUS membership.
- C320 Fleets are being reorganized throughout the country. Local fleets provide an excellent opportunity to gather for rendezvous events, share technical information and modification ideas, and benefit from the interest, collective wisdom, and mutual support available from owners of identical boats.
- Association officers monitor any C320 problems and are available to help owners in need, whether it be technical information or assistance with the factory or a dealer.
- Annual business Meeting and Regatta provide a great way to meet fellow owners.
- An added benefit to joining our association is that you will get a discount when renewing your annual Boat/US membership using our Group Number:GA84113B
