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 42foot 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 balsacored 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 "coastalplus" cruiser—someone looking for more than a weekender but not necessarily requiring a bluewater heavydisplacement vessel.
