How many different versions of the Catalina 27

[Leif]

Can anyone tell me where I can find the information about the different versions of the Catalina 27 that were offered. I know of two different keels offered and two different masts (std. rig or tall rig) is there any other information someone can give me?Thanks,Leif

C 27 Versions

I assume you have already checked: www.catalina27.org. If no luck there, check www.catalinayachts.com, they are real good about answering out quesions.

I'm researching Catalina 27s because I found one I think is a good deal but I can't access www.catalina27.org. Is anyone else having this problem or am I doing something wrong?

More c27 versions

Actually 3 keels. The 3.5ft shoal, the 4ft fin, and the wing that was offered on the later models. The hull remained unchanged throughout the production run. Three basic interiors. Traditional (with the table that folds up against the bulkhead), the dinnette with a built in table and the galley on port side amidship, and the dinnette with the galley on the port aft side of the cabin. Although small changes occurred over the years, Catalina re-designed the deck structure in mid 1985. This included wider cockpit coamings, different lazzerette hatch, narrowed the companionway opening, moved the front hatch from the cabin top to slope of the cabin, and restyled the anchor locker (some of the earlier models did not have an anchor locker). Tall rigs have a bowsprit and standard rigs do not. Probably more, but that is all I can think of.
