The Catalina 28 Mk II represents the evolution of one of Frank Butler’s most successful "pocket" cruisers, refining a platform that aimed to provide the amenities of a 30-footer within a more manageable 28-foot footprint. Introduced in 1995 as the successor to the original Catalina 28 (produced from 1991 to 1995), the Mk II version incorporated significant structural and ergonomic updates. The most notable change was the move to a walk-through transom with a "sugar scoop" swim platform, a feature that modernised the boat's profile and drastically improved boarding access. Built with Catalina’s signature solid fiberglass hull and a molded structural grid, the 28 Mk II was designed for coastal cruising, offering a balance of ease-of-use for solo sailors and sufficient volume for small families.
