The Catalina 400 represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of Catalina Yachts, marking the brand’s transition toward a more modern, Europeaninspired design language while retaining the robust practicality that defined Frank Butler’s philosophy. Launched in the mid1990s and designed by Gerry Douglas, the 400 was one of the first American production yachts of its size to feature twin steering wheels, a design choice that fundamentally altered the ergonomics of the cockpit. This model was intended to bridge the gap between the legendary Catalina 36 and the larger, recordbreaking Catalina 42, offering a balance of volume and performance that specifically targeted the coastal cruising family. In 1995, its impact was formally recognized when it was named a Cruising World Boat of the Year, a testament to its successful blend of innovation and value.
