"Rendez-Vous" is a superior example of the very successful Catalina Yachts "387" Series as produced from 2003 through 2011. A development of the "C-380", the "C-387" was first introduced for the 2003 model year and enjoyed a long production run given the good value for a well-executed cruising yacht. The large cockpit, the head with a generous stall shower and the spacious interior really promoted the Catalina 387 to the popularity enjoyed to the present day.
Rendez-Vous has an exceptionally nice Dark Blue AWLGRIP topsides finish. The very desirable Wing Keel and Roller-Furling Mainsail options as offered are also included in this package.
