Catalina Premiers 385 at Annapolis

Catalina's introduction of the new 385 at this year's Annapolis Boatshow couldn't have been timed better. We had a chance to check it out first hand and think you'll be impressed. Take a look at our exclusive Catalina 385 Model Profile for photos, drawings and a video tour.

The latest in the line of new Catalinas that evolved from successful design features and proportions of previous models, the 385's moderate beam is carried well aft for a spacious cockpit; modest freeboard reduces windage and a beautiful hand-finished teak interior brings it all home with classic warmth and styling that has been a trademark of Catalina for 41 years.

Lead keels, long travelers for precise sail control, and lengthy inboard genoa tracks so the sail plan is balanced in all wind conditions are just a few of the many design features that sets the new Catalina 385 apart from other yachts.
