I'm a 2 day drive to our new to us 1994 C-36 Mk 1.5. My memory says that the stock Catalina dodger and bimini are a tweed blue sumbrella, but I'm not sure if its Mediterrainian Blue or Royal Blue. Anyone care to chime in? I want to order fabric for a sail pack.
Thanks, Gerry Connolly "No Rush"

There are more blue colors than what you mentioned Gerry. Most dodgers are local "add-ons", not stock Catalina dodgers, so you can't assume there is a standard Catalina color. Your best bet is to take a piece of canvas from your boat and show it to whomever is making the sail pack or can compare it to their swatches to give you the exact color name.

OK, I wasn't sure so will wait. Going to be at the boat early April. Thanks for the heads up.
The more popular one is Royal Blue #4617 - but as mentioned above, all canvas are custom add-ons...

The color on mine is called Captain's Blue. That is the darker color.

Thanks everyone. My memory tells me its a tweed blue but not exactly sure which blue. I'll be at the boat soon and check it out.

Sailrite will send you samples for $1 each. It's funny how your eyes play tricks on you. After getting my samples the one that I ordered was nothing like the one I thought I wanted.

Good point concerning the sunbrella samples. I.m going to be at the boat early May so I have some time to order a few samples.
Thanks.
