The master forward cabin features a queen-sized island berth with abundant storage, while the en suite head offers a separate shower stall and a modern, upmarket feel. The port aft cabin features a unique convertible sea berth for extra storage and provides easy access to the steering assembly and through-hull fittings. The starboard aft cabin offers practical access to a dedicated filters cabinet, making fuel changes and filter cleaning hassle-free. Inner spring mattresses come standard in all cabins, ensuring a comfortable night’s sleep on the open sea.

On deck, the Catalina 426 boasts a spacious and well-designed cockpit with generous seating and a cleverly designed sunbed, perfect for relaxing in style and comfort. High-backed seats provide maximum safety and comfort for the whole family, while the cockpit table incorporates useful grab rails and can be clad in teak with an electric fridge to keep drinks and snacks cool during hot summer days. The stylish Edson steering pods for the twin helms keep the area clean and uncluttered, allowing easy access to the walk-through transom or optional swim deck.

All control lines are led aft to the companionway winches, with excess rope cleverly stowed in a central rope bin in the cockpit sole. The mainsheet is doubled-ended, allowing control from both the companionway and the port genoa winch, ideal for short-handed sailing. The inboard chainplates allow for tighter genoa sheeting when not using the self-tacking jib, while the deep anchor well with a useful divider keeps the area tidy. The double anchor roller also allows for the use of a downwind asymmetrical sail to maximize the sailing experience.
