Catalina 34 MkII ‘AILSA’ – SOLD

Friday 14th May 2021

Mark Cameron Yachts is delighted to announce the successful sale of the Catalina 34 MkII ‘AILSA’.

Founded in 1969 by Frank Butler Catalina Yachts has grown to become one of the global powerhouses of mass production yacht building with over 60,000 yachts produced to date. Introduced in 1984 the Catalina 34MkI quickly gained a reputation for providing a rewarding sailing experience combined with comfortable and spacious accommodation below deck. After more than decade in production the Catalina 34 MkII was launched, listening to the feedback of Catalina owners and modernising the design. The MkII features a revised cockpit layout with walk-thru transom and G&T seats. The mainsheet has been moved out of the cockpit to become a mid-boom system freeing up living space in the cockpit. Below decks the finish has been refined and layout tweaked to provide comfortable accommodation for upto 7.
