Catalina Yachts is probably the world's largest producer of sailboats. Since its inception in July 1969, over 60,000 Catalina, Morgan, and Capri sailboats have been delivered to satisfied sailors.

Catalina, a privately held company, has developed innovative engineering procedures so that in final assembly components are married with a minimum of effort and waste, yielding substantial economy in time and labor. The resulting product is unusually strong, and the designs are unique and stylish.

With its excellent cash position in the industry Catalina is able to purchase most of the raw materials at huge savings as much as a year ahead of actual demand. Catalina passes these savings to Catalina owners.

Those sailors who made purchases of Catalinas in the early 70's have discovered that not only can they sell their sailboats easily, but they can also expect, in many cases, to recover what they paid for it and possibly more. Our owners have made a sound investment in selecting one of the finest sailboats available.

When you board a Catalina you find comfort, spaciousness, and efficient layouts. What you won't find until you sail one is how easy they are to sail and how well they perform. All these features have evolved over the years from feedback from our customers, plus the experience in sailing and building America's most outstanding sailboats.

Add up the savings in raw materials, excellence in engineering, and good management... the result is Catalina can offer you the best sailboat at a reasonable price. It's our opinion that a fine product delivered through a reputable dealer like Admiralty Sailboats will satisfy you, the customer. Catalina sailors are the ones who benefit from the Catalina program to ensure performance, dependability, style and resale value. Just ask a sailor who already owns one.

Catalina's design simplicity and unique engineering techniques have reduced the number of hours that go into the production of each sailboat. Since skilled labor is a large cost factor in a hand crafted product, we have been able to reduce the cost significantly while improving the quality and integrity of the sailboat.

And since Catalina is privately held there are no stockholders or board of directors looking for dividends. If the company were publicly held another 8-12% could easily be added to the final retail price.

Averaging the numbers, it's easy to understand why the Catalina price range is about 20% below most competitors.
