Catalina Expo 12.5

LOA: 3.89m/ 12'9"
Beam: 1.5m/ 5'0"
Sail Area: 6.04sq m/ 65sq ft
Approx. Weight: 59kg/ 130lbs

The Catalina Expo 12.5 is a fun machine. Thanks to the SmartRig® and Hoyt boom, getting underway has never been this quick and easy! There are no stays, no chainplates, and no halyards. Putting the boat away is also a snap, as both mast and boom are deck-stepped and removable by hand, without any tools, in minutes. This is one boat every member of the family and friends will want to sail all day long. The tapered one piece carbon fiber mast means more sail power, with less weight aloft. The rotating SmartRig mast acts as a reefing line and furling drum to shorten or increase sail effortlessly. The same line even rolls the sail completely around the mast for storage. The Expo 12.5 has a seat across the cockpit. Standard items include a one-piece fiberglass deck with molded-in non-skid and hand laid fiberglass hull. Full flotation inside the hull means the 12.5 is virtually unsinkable. The Expo 12.5 is perfect for the new or experienced sailor who want a great handling sailboat that is non-technical. Simple to rig, exciting to sail, the 12.5 is all about fun on the water.

Catalina Expo 14.2

Length Overall: 4.62m/ 15'2"
Beam: 1.88m/ 6'2"
Sail Area: 9.66sq m/ 104sq ft
Approx. Weight: 154kg/ 340lbs

The design of the Catalina Expo 14.2 is based on the hugely successful Catalina 14.2. Having built over 5,000 Catalina 14.2s 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 consists of a tapered carbon fiber mast and deck stepped Hoyt boom. Just two lines control all the sail's power. One line controls the sail size, while the mainsheet line shapes the sail. 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.

The entire deck, cabin house and cockpit are new for the mark II edition of the popular Catalina 18.

The cockpit seats are still 6 ft. 10 inches long and even more comfortable than before. Below is a well lighted and ventilated compartment, perfect for overnight accommodations for a couple or family with children. Shoal draft and good performance in light and heavy winds dictated the Capri 18 hull shape. The Catalina 18mkII is well balanced and light on the helm, inspiring confidence in the learning sailor and delighting the seasoned skipper.
