In 2006, we purchased our Catalina 22 and brought it home to clean and restore before reselling her. We hauled her out, dismasted her, and towed her home where the deep cleaning took place. This page is dedicated to our work on her and her eventual sale.
Our Catalina 22 Sailboat
The Catalina 22 is a popular and iconic sailboat designed by Frank V. Butler and first produced in 1969 by the Catalina Yachts company. Over the decades, it has become one of the best-selling sailboats in history, known for its versatility, ease of handling, and affordability. The Catalina 22 has been a favorite for both novice and experienced sailors due to its design, which is suitable for both day sailing and extended cruising.
