Catalina Yachts - Rugged, Solid, Cruisers Built by High Quality Craftsman in the U.S. to Take You Around the World!
Introducing Catalina's NEW 6 Series!
Designed and built in the United States, the New 6 Series showcases Catalina’s legendary quality, craftsmanship, and value, focusing on improved performance, technology, and luxury.
What we loved about the 355 and still love in the 356 is the versatility of the boat. An optional electric furling/mainsheet winch and bow thruster make her a breeze to sail and dock and the spacious cockpit and interior layout are very comfortable while cruising or while entertaining friends and family.
Listed below are the new main design features that distinguish the new 6 Series models:
- New Selden mast and rigging featuring "LMP" sections for weight savings aloft, swept spreader design provides closer sheeting angles and easier passage of side decks. SMF and Selbus push button ready.
- New custom Catalina/ Mars shoal draft lead keels with "Cruising Bulb" low drag form (356,386,426,446).
- New mainsheet system allows trimming from both port and starboard sides of cabin top.
- New hull-side fixed ports and new cabin-side opening ports for added light and contemporary exterior design look.
