After a 1,000-mile test sail, the author gives a thorough critique of Catalina′s current flagship. "This is a boat we would take to sea, a boat we could live on in remote anchorages."
[Blue Water Sailing, September 2004]
BWS takes the 470 on a 1,00-mile test. They conclude Catalina, "known for their daysailing, coastal and family cruising boats," has produced "a boat we would take to sea, a boat we could live on in remote anchorages, urban marinas . . ."
[Blue Water Sailing, September 2004]
"The galley is wonderful with a refrigerator that opens both from the top and from the front," says Perry. "The owner′s stateroom, with direct access to the head, is palatial by any standard. This is a big boat."
[Sail Magazine, 1998]
Why this boat is good value but, although it conforms to CE ratings for ocean sailing, it is better suited for coastal cruising in comfort and short offshore passages.
[Practical Sailor, 1 November 2002]
