Catalina 375

Catalina Yachts has just launched the Catalina 375, a fresh new design, characteristic of the successful Catalina 36, and incorporating the best features found on all of Catalina’s latest models.

As successor to the legendary Catalina 36, introduced twenty-five years ago, the 375 had big shoes to fill. Thoughtful ideas, suggestions and critique from the active Catalina 36 Owners’ Association and Catalina dealers guided the development process. Virtually every system in this yacht has been reviewed and optimized for improved performance, efficiency and owner maintenance.

The new 375 has a sculpted, contemporary and functional low profile deck and a stable performance hull form. High quality hardware and offshore capable rigging complements a substantial sail plan with in-mast furling main and vertical battens. Twin backstays balance the powerful rig, creating an unobstructed "California size" cockpit.

A single side control traveler and inboard sheeting for overlapping genoas makes sail handling easier. Wide weather decks allow easy access forward and aft, and there is enough room in the anchor locker for two rodes and gear. Deep lockers aft leave plenty of space for optional a/c and generator.

The transom extends seamlessly to the waterline for increased structural integrity. Catalina’s classic stern seats are integrated into the stern pulpit, along with an easyaccess outboard motor bracket. A standard 6'10" fin keel is lead (not cast iron), and an optional 4'8" shoal draft wing keel allows gunkholing just about anywhere.

Enter the 375's spacious open interior through hinged bi-fold companionway doors. There's solid teak trim in the classically symmetrical main cabin with traditional port and starboard cabinets. The Lonseal non-skid sole keeps maintenance underfoot to a minimum.

There are plenty of drawers with storage under the seats, a large hanging locker, plus shelved lockers throughout. A game table converts to a settee or berth, and the functional, well-designed galley has a self-contained stainless refrigerator, large dry locker, insulated compartment for optional refrigeration and solid surface counters.

An extra large head adjacent to the owner’s cabin has a big circular shower and a gravity drain waste system. Inner spring mattresses are fitted in both cabins, fore and aft.

Owners will find generous tankage for water, fuel and waste, and the 40-hp. Yanmar diesel sips fuel at a mere .6 gal./hr. @ 2000 RPM.

For almost 40 years, Catalina’s unwavering dedication to building well-designed, durable, family oriented boats has resulted in long production runs where each model is improved and refined. A commitment to owner satisfaction has enhanced customer confidence and loyalty insures Catalina’s position as the leading, exclusively sailboat builder in the United States with manufacturing facilities on both east and west coasts.
