1992 Catalina 34 Mk1.5 Boat in Rochester, NY 14617 US

This Frank Butler designed sloop first came on the market in 1986. Since then the Catalina 34 built a well deserved reputation as a classic blend of performance, comfort and value. The large cockpit has pedestal steering with all the instruments located at the wheel. We call this the Version 1.5 because of the walk-through transom with its double duty ladder/gate. The cockpit has canvas for a complete enclosure, and all lines lead to the cockpit for single handed sailing and safety.
