I have a sirius, which was designed
by the same person as the Catalina,
that I did that to a couple years ago.
I placed blocks at the foot of the
mast, lined up turning blocks with a
winch on the deck house roof.  I placed
this winch to the starboard of the pop-
top so it would not interfier with its
operation.  A couple stoppers and a halyard 
bag completed the project.  Works great
    good luck and good sailing.
