2026 Catalina 14.2 Expo for Sale – 15 ft – Riverside, NJ, United States

2024 Catalina Expo 14.2 Expo - Available to order!

The design of the Catalina Expo 14.2 is based on the hugely successful Catalina 14.2. Having built over 5,000 Catalina 14.2 the Expo is intended as an alternative rig configuration for those new to sailing or experienced sailors who want to enjoy the fun of small boat sailing in a simple, non-technical fun boat.

The SmartRig® system comprises a tapered carbon fiber mast and deck-stepped Hoyt boom. Just two lines control all the sail’s power. Just one line controls the sail size, while the mainsheet line shapes the sail. Strong, yet flexible, the mast bends in gusty conditions instead of the boat heeling excessively. Having far less weight than an aluminum mast, the boat is more stable, with less tipping.

At the end of the day, just pull the furling line and the sail wraps completely around the mast. The mast and boom are free-standing and have no wires or chainplates to work around. This not only greatly decreases set-up time, but makes for a roomy, more comfortable, inviting cockpit.

Having but one sail to furl and trim, the Expo is a simple machine. The sail opens to any point with the pull of a single line around the ultra-light carbon fiber mast. This infinite adjustment allows quick and easy changes in sail size depending on the wind conditions throughout the day. Now you are able to travel at the speed you feel most comfortable.

"Catalina builds the largest selection of honest, sturdy boats that hold up to real-world conditions, perform well and cost less to maintain. For Catalina owners, this means lots of extra value and enhanced sailing pleasure, with the added bonus of excellent resale value."---Catalina

Strong, yet flexible, the mast bends in the gusty conditions instead of the boat heeling excessively. Having far less weight than an aluminum mast, the boat is more stable, with less tipping. At the end of the day, just pull the furling line and the sail wraps completely around the mast.

The mast and boom are free-standing and have no wires or chainplates to work around. This not only greatly decreases set-up time, but makes for a roomy, more comfortable, inviting cockpit.

The one-piece aluminum Hoyt boom is up high and out of the way, with no chance of falling into the cockpit.

Tacks are effortless, and don’t worry if you forget to duck, chances are the boom won’t even come close overhead.
