Designed with the cruising couple or small family in mind, the 270 offers true weekend capability with the confidence to stretch into extended coastal runs.
With her stable hull design, wide beam carried aft, and forgiving sail plan, this Catalina inspires confidence under sail while remaining easy to single-hand.
