With a production run of more than 20 years and over 6,600 boats produced, the Catalina 27 surely ranks as the most popular cruising sailboat built to date. Like Cal Ripken's consecutive game streak or the transatlantic crossing record, this record will also likely be broken again someday but it's hard to imagine when.
With more than 6,600 produced, there are expected to be plenty of Catalina 27s around.
If you do your sailing on protected or near-shore waters and you're in the market for a moderately sized, moderately priced cruiser, be sure to keep the Catalina 27 on your short list.
This vessel is currently berthed at Bayview Marina, Rockwall TX on Lake Ray Hubbard
