"The designers of the Catalina 470 have done a very good job of analyzing exactly what features are needed for comfortable passagemaking and onboard living" - Roger Howell, Sail Magazine, December 1999

By using a modular hull liner mold, we will be able to offer a single or twin aft cabin option.

Although the 470 is an all new model, a very conservative approach has been taken in the development of systems design borrowing from the most effective, reliable elements from existing models. Owners have told us what works (and what does not) and the 470 reflects this experience.

A few of the many notable features of the 470 are as follows:

• Twin wheels. This is a must on a modern boat with a broad stern. It allows the helmsman to sit out board to view traffic and sail trim, while permitting unimpeded access to the stern platform. The 470 steering system will connect each wheel to the rudder port independently for the feel and precision of a single wheel, but with the benefits of twins. The redundancy, designed into the steering system, is a great safety feature too.
• The cockpit table has space for full instrumentation, including a plotter or radar, as well as dining space for six.
• An electric main halyard/mainsheet winch is standard equipment.
• Careful attention has been paid to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Conduits and chases have been provided, making maintenance and service easier.
• All freshwater and waste tankage has been accommodated in subsole compartments, designed to accommodate molded tanks. This keeps the weight low and allows the more accessible compartments to be used for storage.
• Fuel will be carried in two independent 42 gallon aluminum tanks with separate filters and a manifold system.
• The standard tapered aluminum rig mast with in-line double spreaders will accommodate I.C.W. bridges (63' mast height) and have a rated sail area of 1010 sq. ft. with a 100% fore triangle. The tall rig option will have a rated sail area of 1092 sq. ft. and a mast height of approximately 68'.
• Spring loaded, stainless steel solid boom vang
• In mast mainsail furling available
