The Catalina 387 stands as a hallmark of the builder’s transition into the modern era of cruising, designed by Gerry Douglas to bridge the gap between the popular 350 and the flagship 42-foot models. Introduced in the early 2000s, it was not merely a refresh of the older Catalina 38 or 380 hulls but a completely new design that prioritized volume, stiffness, and ease of shorthanded sailing. Constructed with a solid fiberglass hull below the waterline and a balsa-cored deck, the 387 incorporates the signature Catalina "structural grid," a fiberglass internal framing system that bonds the hull and floor timbers into a singular, rigid unit. This model was specifically engineered to address the needs of the "coastal-plus" cruiser—someone looking for more than a weekender but not necessarily requiring a blue-water heavy-displacement vessel.
