The Catalina Capri 37 represents a sophisticated departure from the builder's traditional design ethos. While most Catalina models of the 1980s and 90s were designed inhouse with a primary focus on volume and coastal cruising comfort, the Capri 37 was a collaboration with the renowned naval architecture firm Nelson/Marek. Launched in the late 1980s, it was intended to bridge the gap between a highperformance handicap racer and a functional weekend cruiser. By utilizing a more refined, performanceoriented hull shape than the "fat" hulls of the standard Catalina line, the Capri 37 offered a level of sailing agility that surprised many longtime brand loyalists. It was the flagship of the Capri "performance" line, which included the smaller Capri 22, 26, and 30, all of which favored lighter displacements and higher sailareatodisplacement ratios than their "Catalina" branded siblings.
