Catalina yachts are uniquely American with a strong focus on performance, safety at sea and enduring value. They are overbuilt and underpriced and that's why Catalina yachts are the Sailor's Choice. The Catalina 385 along with the 5 Series yachts have been recipient of numerous Sail Magazine and Cruising World awards. Some of the important design and safety features of the Catalina 5 Series yachts include: -Five-part Construction with dedicated fiberglass sub sole grid-provides the backbone of a ruggedly built boat that stands up to the test of time. Strike Zone Featuring a watertight collision bulkhead forward and high density foam below the water line. -Deep Defense Rudder System. Superior construction with a stainless steel welded structure glassed to the rudder blade and off center seam for impact resistance. -T Beam Mast Step-Combines the benefits of a deck stepped mast and the strength of a keel stepped mast. -Secure Socket Mast Support-Heavy duty stainless steel chainplate system that facilitates perfect load resolution and watertight integrity. -Lead Keels-Absorbs impact for safety and requires less maintenance than cast iron or other keel materials. -Knitted Fiberglass Fabrics-Create a stronger laminate without additional weight. -Internal Flange Hull to Deck Joint-Capped with a slotted toe rail and provides superior impact resistance. -Low Profile Deck Cabin Design-Sleek appearance and low windage; durable diamond non-skid pattern adds an element of safety. -Oversized Traveler and Winches-Ease of sail handling in all conditions. -Teak Interiors and Laminates-hand finished with satin and high gloss varnish, easy to repair or refinish. -Filter Locker-Raw water filter, fuel/water separator and coolant reservoir in dedicated locker for easy daily access. -Newly Designed Navigation Panel-Consistent design on all 5 Series models; has additional circuits for additional options. -Built In Amp Draw Digital Meter-Helps monitor electrical usage.
