MAN WITH 22’ SAILBOAT LAUNCHES EMPIRE-BEST SMALL SAILBOAT FOR SOLO SAILOR-CATALINA YACHTS 22’ STORY

Catalina Yachts didn't just build sailboats. It granted access to sailing to generations of ordinary Americans. From the Catalina 22 to full-size cruising yachts, this is the true story of how Frank Butler scaled a boat company without losing sight of the sailor, how design, build, warranty and service were handled differently and how one builder helped define the golden age of American fiberglass sailboats. This video looks at Catalina's rise, its move into the former Morgan Yachts facility in Florida, the boats that made the company legendary and the recent challenges facing the brand today. Because companies come and go, but... Fiberglass is forever. Thanks, Mitch
