2020 Pursuit S 328

The Catalina 34’s lines are graceful, just as you’d expect from a builder with a 150-plus year history of designing and producing beautiful boats. Sporting a substantial and bold look, the 34’s aggressive stance is enhanced by a sheer line that runs flat and then rises smoothly to the bow, which has copious flare for keeping things dry. Her entry is also aggressive, but its curvy profile doesn’t detract from the rest of the boat’s elegance. Twenty-one degrees of transom deadrise should enhance offshore performance when things get snotty.
