The 387 is an unusually comfortable and spacious boat for its length. The cockpit is probably the biggest in a cruiser this size. Also unique in a yacht this size, the seats are 9 feet long, providing more than ample room to stretch out or dine in comfort. Halyards, reefing lines, outhaul, and cunningham are led to the cockpit through a sheet-stopper console on the cabintop.
This boat has an in-mast furling system for the main which makes adjusting to varying wind velocities and sail storage easy. An onboard generator makes extended sailing very comfortable.
There is a very spacious 6 feet, 9 inches of headroom in the salon. Since the salon is open from end to end rather than chopped up for storage, the 387 feels bigger than most boats its length. There's plenty of light and air from multiple fixed and opening ports. The salon accommodates three tables of different sizes, and there are brackets in the aft cabin to stow tabletops not in use.
Our Catalina is stable and dependable, yet fast and very sturdy in high winds and seas. It's a great mid-sized charter boat for a day, weekend, or week long exploration of the Carolina coast.
