Catalina logo and furler

Since I combined the two disparate items, (I am lazy) I put it under the Scuttlerear topic. I wonder if anyone found or has the attached Catalina "decal". My boat is not a MK II, but don't care.

the second item is it is well documented that a sagging furler (i.e., not straight as an arrow) causes difficulties in furling. Since the tension cannot be adjusted at the bow, I wonder that if mine is a bit saggy (maybe the line stretches over time?) can I simply tighten the backstay turnbuckles to pull the mast top aft?

thanks
dave, NYBOR 4111 (I have the 2024 model)........(my lying will not help me, so remove one of the "1s")

Might this be the decal you’re looking for - https://www.catalinadirect.com/shop-by- ... hResults=1
Tightening the backstay should tension the forestay as well.

Thanks Ken. If you can see the photo I included, no it is a Name Plate. Catalina Yachts store has them but NOT the best boat (i.e., our 350s).

however, thanks for the idea of slightly tightening the backstay. I will try it.
