Catalina 36! What thoughts are provoked when we hear those words spoken? When did Frank Butler (Catalina Yachts) build the first Catalina 36? When did the National Association come into being? When were the local fleets first formed?
To find the solution to these questions I went in search of answers. A call to Catalina Yachts elicited the answer that hull #1 was built in 1982 as a 1983 model. And as of November 1997, 1,687 Catalina 36s have been built! [Ed Note: Hull #2305, the last C36 made, was completed in November 2006]
