ABOUT THE CATALINA 356
Designed with a keen focus on ergonomics, the Catalina 356’s layout begins with the cockpit, offering unparalleled comfort and functionality. The raised helm seat ensures optimal visibility over the coachroof, while the bench seats are angled to provide excellent back support and safety. Twin backstays with outboard chainplates maximize space around the helm and stern pulpit seats, enhancing manoeuvrability and convenience.
The low-profile binnacle at the helm accommodates a chartplotter without obstructing the commanding view, while well-positioned winches and working lines optimize sail handling. The cockpit’s expansive layout facilitates easy access to the side decks and an oversized locker providing ample storage space for essential items.
Other deck features include the long steel grab rails on the coachroof just forward of the dodger and the long genoa tracks.
