I just received an email from a local dealer who has represented Catalina Yachts for decades. According to the email Catalina will have three models on display and there will be a Catalina owners event as well. If anyone is planning on attending would love to hear about Catalina's attending, the owners event, and what the "official" story currently is.

Interesting. I’d bet that they’re going to focus on 35ft and larger boats going forward, unfortunately, Catalina’s crowning achievement was building more C-22s than any other production boat ever!
I’m delighted that the new company plans to continue to build Catalina sailboats. It’ll probably be very exciting to see the newest model with all its bells and whistles!
Enjoy the show.

Russ, Great to see they were able to get back into production so quickly. Hope they are financially successful as well.

Everyone, Did anyone go to the Annapolis Show and see/chat with Catalina people?

Was just watching a Practical Sailor video about the new Catalina 356..

It opens at the Annapolis Boat Show and the host describes its pluses and minuses. He also compared it to the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 350 and the Tartan 365 on performance and price.

While it’s a good introduction to the newly minted Cat, only time and user experience will tell what the quality and durability of the boat will be.

Take a look and a listen.
