means the 387 won’t be
too jumpy in a seaway;
another essential for
cruising comfort. The other
notable figure is a sail
area:displacement ratio,
which gives a conservative
17.23 per cent; putting the
Catalina 387 firmly into
the comfortable cruiser
category.
The USA has an active
owners’ association for
info on all models and has
given useful feedback to the
evolution of the brand over
the decades; so a worthwhile
port of call for more
information on this very
capable cruising yacht.

LEFT Teak liner and plenty of seating and quality finishings such as louvre locker doors give a

comfortable feel to the main saloon. TOP This 2004 example of the Catalina 387 is a well-equipped

traditional cruiser. ABOVE LEFT The widest berth is the aft cabin which uses the full beam of the

Catalina, just mind your head. ABOVE RIGHT The single central bathroom features separate shower

stall. BELOW The V-berth has good ventilation and locker space in what is a traditional layout.
