Catalina 22 is Catalina Yachts’ first and longest running model.

The Catalina Capri 22 is known for its sweet sailing performance in nearly all conditions, the Catalina Capri 22 has been winning sailors since its introduction. The current model is a major design update that has made the Capri 22 more comfortable, safer at sea and easier to maintain than the original. The striking new deck profile is flared across the stern and has wider cockpit curves for crew comfort during and after sailing. Under the full reclining length seats is a new storage locker and separate battery locker. Maintaining one-design hull and rigging still allows for increase in efficiency and reduction on effort. Halyards now raise the sails with less effort, thanks to the elimination of deck turning blocks. A 12 volt electrical system with control panel offers all the conveniences of information and entertainment at the touch of a switch.

Chesapeake Yacht Sales is Virginia’s dealer for Catalina Yachts.

Interesting fact, Catalina Yachts was founded in 1969 by Frank Butler in California. Catalina Yachts is one of the largest boat manufacturers in the world, with over 80,000 boats manufactured to date.
