Toolbox

Boat owners tend to pick up tools as they need them -- but some tasks require special, single-task tools and they have to be custom made.  They're often not difficult to use -- but they're too expensive for an average owner to buy to use once every five years or so.  Owners are often forced to to pay rather high boatyard costs for something they could have done themselves if they only had the tool.

C36/375IA currently has FOUR custom-designed, single purpose tools -- designed for the Catalina 36 and 375. 

So here's the deal...   We'll make these available for loan to C36/375IA members.  NO COST -- except to pay the postage both ways, and you need to return the tool so we have them back in the toolbox for the next member to borrow.   

These tools are in frequent use, so you need to return them promptly so it's available for the next member's use.  

Sound like there's a catch?  No catch.  Just pay the postage and return it on time.  This is an honor system.

If you're interested, please fill out the Toolbox Tool Request Form, providing a 'good' telephone number and email address, and we'll get back to you to on how the tool works, and how we'll work this out. Please fill out the form once for each tool you want to borrow.

And if there's a tool you need that's not listed, please ask and we'll see what we can do to help you out.
