Catalina Yachts
has just launched the all-new Catalina 320 Mark II -- a
stylish, new generation mid-sized yacht. The 320 MkII is a
prime example of Catalina's tradition of constantly upgrading
and perfecting existing models.
Created from the successful original 320 introduced in 1993
with over 1,000 hulls built, the 320 MkII incorporates
contemporary styling, upgraded ergonomics and the latest
convenience features while retaining the excellent performance
and handling characteristics of the original 320.
Maintaining the sail plan, weight and underbody of the
original model preserved the integrity of the class, so
one-design 320 racing sailors can compete aboard the newly
redesigned model. The 320 MkII model was influenced by over a
decade of comments and input from experienced 320 owners.
The 320 MkII is built from all new optimised molds for every
fibreglass component. The new deck design features a modern
sculptured cabin structure and cockpit. Sail handling is
easier with a single side control, ball bearing traveller and
improved cabin top control layout.
Cabin comfort is enhanced with a longer v-berth and a forward
hanging locker. The galley has custom solid surface counter
tops and a front-loading stainless steel refrigerator. A top
loading, well-insulated icebox can also be used as a
refrigerator. Storage is optimised with additional cabinetry
and bins.
In addition, all lighting, ventilation, steering, electrical
and plumbing systems were upgraded and fine tuned to create
the all-new MkII edition of the popular Catalina 320. |
