A Classically Modern 40' Cruiser [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

Catalina yachts are uniquely American with a strong focus on performance, safety at sea and enduring value. They are overbuilt and underpriced and that's why Catalina yachts are the Sailor's Choice.
The Catalina 385 along with the 5 Series yachts have been recipient of numerous Sail Magazine and Cruising World awards. Some of the important design and safety features of the Catalina 5 Series yachts include:
-Five-part Construction with dedicated fiberglass sub sole grid-provides the backbone of a ruggedly built boat that stands up to the test of time.
Strike Zone Featuring a watertight collision bulkhead forward and high density foam below the water line.
-Deep Defense Rudder System. Superior construction with a stainless steel welded structure glassed to the rudder blade and off center seam for impact resistance.
-T Beam Mast Step-Combines the benefits of a deck stepped mast and the strength of a keel stepped mast.
-Secure Socket Mast Support-Heavy duty stainless steel chainplate system that facilitates perfect load resolution and watertight integrity.
-Lead Keels-Absorbs impact for safety and requires less maintenance than cast iron or other keel materials.
-Knitted Fiberglass Fabrics-Create a stronger laminate without additional weight.
-Internal Flange Hull to Deck Joint-Capped with a slotted toe rail and provides superior impact resistance.
-Low Profile Deck Cabin Design-Sleek appearance and low windage; durable diamond non-skid pattern adds an element of safety.
-Oversized Traveler and Winches-Ease of sail handling in all conditions.
-Teak Interiors and Laminates-hand finished with satin and high gloss varnish, easy to repair or refinish.
-Filter Locker-Raw water filter, fuel/water separator and coolant reservoir in dedicated locker for easy daily access.
-Newly Designed Navigation Panel-Consistent design on all 5 Series models; has additional circuits for additional options.
-Built In Amp Draw Digital Meter-Helps monitor electrical usage.

Nice looking sailboat for sure! : - )

[@Catalina27]

Finally at Catalina 🥳

[@navalgazingatcampdavid]

Enjoyed your channel! Just Subscribed.I’m trying to convince my wife that a circumnavigation is a great retirement project and went so far as to even start a little channel (@NavalGazingatCampDavid) to sell her on the life style….desperate times and all that. Lol. Thanks again for the great content. I have a whoooole new appreciation for the time and care it takes to create these episodes!

[@JohnLee-im7iu]

You do great work…thanks for the videos. Used and under 200,000 is best.

[@atomisum6445]

What a beautiful boat!

[@fredread9216]

When I was sailing the E Caribbean we sailed for a while with a couple on a pretty stock 1980’s vintage Catalina 36. They were debating whether to sail it accross the Atlantic to Europe. They did and had no significant problems. Nice boat. I like the engine access. Sooooo important.

Nice video

[@treywest268]

Great video and a beautiful boat! As Captain Q calls those kinds of heads with dual access, it's a "Two fer" as in two for one.
I love this boat! I just wish I had the money.

[@kejung1]

I would buy that, nice boat!

[@cigarmann]

Popular boats in NJ where I sail. Always admire the completeness of the package. They sail well too, several have won club regattas.

[@VonBluesman]

Great video, beautiful boat I would love to own but I have mucho dineros no. 😂❤.

[@ianfurqueron5850]

Looks like a really nice boat for the price. (edited).

[@LearningtheLines]

It is, sorry about that. Forgot to update the description. It's updated now.

[@ianfurqueron5850]

@@LearningtheLines Whoops! Ok. Still a nice boat and seems worth the asking price.

[@FixNewsPlease]

Permanent accidental jibe preventer lines.

[@scottireland5414]

Noticed that too. I rigged one like it on my old boat, but the sheet is continuous around the stern to the other side.

[@jefft2090]
