Beta Wave is a 1995 Catalina 320 sloop, hull #206, purchased new in St Louis in October 1994 by the current and original owner. She spent the first 20 years of her life being gently used on Carlyle Lake in southern Illinois. And In fall of 2015, she was trucked to Naples Boat Yard where she was refitted with new speed and depth transducers, LED anchor, steaming and deck lights and a new VHF antenna. All mast wiring was renewed and run without a junction box to end points in the boat. Plenty of wiring slack was left in the bilge to accommodate future mast stepping and addition of junction box. She's been living and sailing in Naples Florida since she was moved in 2015.
