- The Catalina Expo 12.5 is a fun machine. Thanks to the SmartRig® and Hoyt boom, getting underway has never been this quick and easy!
There are no stays, chainplates, or halyards. Putting the boat away is also a snap, as both mast and boom are deck-stepped and removable by hand, without any tools, in minutes.
- The tapered one-piece carbon fiber mast means more sail power and less weight.
The rotating SmartRig mast serves as both a reefing line and a furling drum, allowing for effortless shortening or lengthening of the sail. The same line even rolls the sail completely around the mast for storage.
- Standard items include a one-piece fiberglass deck with molded-in non-skid and hand-laid fiberglass hull
- Full flotation inside the hull means the 12.5 is virtually unsinkable
