LIBERTY HILL II, is an impeccably maintained and outfitted example of the award winning Catalina 385. This own owner boat is the very definition of a "Turn Key" opportunity, with everything in place to get out and enjoy the sailing season. Featuring Electric Main Halyard / Main Sheet Winch, Bow Thruster, Full Electronics Suite, Custom Cockpit Dodger / Bimini / Connector, and Air Conditioning.
The Catalina 5 Series evolved from successful design features and proportions of previous models. The 385's moderate beam is carried well aft for a spacious cockpit; modest freeboard reduces windage and a beautiful hand-finished teak interior brings it all home with classic warmth and styling that has been a trademark of Catalina for nearly 50 years.
The 385 breaks with tradition aesthetically, but has all the feature that sets Catalina apart fro other builders. Lead keels, roomy cockpits and long travelers for precise sail control. Long inboard genoa tracks to accommodate headsails from powerful 155% genoas to storm jibs, allowing the sail plan to be balanced in all wind conditions.
Lead keels, long travelers for precise sail control, and lengthy inboard genoa tracks so the sail plan is balanced in all wind conditions are just a few of the many design features that sets the Catalina 385 apart from other yachts.
More unique features include a watertight StrikeZone™ collision bulkhead aft of the anchor locker. A backstay system creates an impressive cockpit for the avid sailor, and Catalina’s unique SecureSocket™ chain plates mast support system affords superior load resolution.
The 385’s moderate beam is carried well aft for a spacious cockpit; modest freeboard reduces windage and a beautiful hand-finished teak interior brings it all home with classic warmth and styling that has been a trademark of Catalina for 41 years.
