The Catalina 42 perfectly balances performance, comfort, and value, contributing to its enduring popularity. The Catalina 42 MkII boasts an easily driven high-volume design with a fine entry, firm midship section, and smooth run aft. It ends in a modified reverse transom with an uncommonly spacious and functional boarding platform.
