You see it? The tint on the windows. Should have a modern look. Like a pull to side tint/bug screen. That would be impressive.
After a succession of out of production boats, we decided to go with a brand that ws still in business. Thought all was well until 2 years ago. Then the bad news.. BUT, that appears to be behind Catalina now...
Frank Butler can now rest in peace...

Catalina 356, l like the concept, seems really comfortable & familiar.
Tartan 34, Newer design, twin helms, portlight windows in bow cabin. I hope both companies can stay in business, because I like their boats.

It's familiar because it is the evolution of the Catalina 34, first introduced in 1986 (coincidentally my boat). One of the few, if not the only, boat of its era with an aft head and huge V berth (I can sleep athwartship!). The interesting part of the layout is that no one has to sleep with their head against a wall right next to the "toilet".
The C34 stopped production between 2007 & 2009 with 1,801 hulls built. It was followed by the C355, same layout, larger head with separate shower, walk around V-berth berth, and other CY improvements, including that wonderful new table, which was first built for the C440.
The C356 is a nice boat.

They need to get a professional photographer to take pictures. Some pictures look as if a child took them. If they take that angle, shouldn't they have a little picture of a child and a quote on their front page, photographs within taken by children of owners that bought our boats?
