About the EXPO 14.2 (CATALINA)
Features carbon fiber SmartRig® and Hoyt boom. 12 qt. removable icebox. Same hull as CATALINA 14.2, CAPRI 14.2.
The Catalina Expo 14.2 is a compact catamaran designed by Garry Hoyt and built by Catalina Yachts (USA) in 1997. With a hull count listed as unknown, this model represents a niche entry in the micro-cruiser market, characterized by its unstayed catamaran rig and lightweight displacement of 340.0 lb.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for single-handers or couples seeking a trailerable, low-maintenance day sailor or coastal cruiser with easy beaching capabilities due to its variable keel and shallow 3.5 ft max draft.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 340.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 3.37, this boat is not designed for offshore bluewater cruising but is limited to protected coastal waters and day sailing.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Lagoon 20 and Beneteh First 16, as they share similar trailerable dimensions and coastal cruising roles, though the Expo 14.2 distinguishes itself with a catamaran hull form and unstayed rig.
