What Additional Resources Does Catalina Yachts Offer Beyond Sailboats?
Updated
Catalina Yachts offers four main resources beyond its sailboat lines: an official retail partner store for gear and parts, Mainsheet magazine for owners, the True North Yachts powerboat brand, and a set of company and owner resources (dealer locator, parts and technical support, news, history, brochure archives, and associations). These are listed on catalinayachts.com and are aimed at owners, prospective buyers, and anyone maintaining a Catalina boat.
Official Retail Partner Store
Catalina describes an "Official Retail Partner" store stocked with performance hardware, sails, custom apparel, mats, sheets, and more. This is the place to look for branded and boat-specific items rather than general marine retail.
- What it covers: hardware, sails, apparel, mats, bedding
- Who it suits: owners upgrading or replacing gear, and buyers wanting Catalina-branded merchandise
- What to check first: the site does not publish prices or payment details, so confirm current pricing, shipping, and stock directly in the store before ordering
Mainsheet Magazine
Mainsheet is described as the official publication for thousands of Catalina sailboat owners worldwide. It functions as an owner community resource rather than a product catalog.
- Use it for: owner news, fleet community content, and staying connected to the Catalina owner base
- Access: the site links to a "Learn More" page for the magazine; subscription or access terms are not stated on the homepage, so verify on that page
True North Yachts
True North Yachts is Catalina's entry into the Downeast-style powerboat segment. Catalina positions it as combining traditional style with performance and "Catalina value."
- What it is: a separate powerboat brand under the Catalina umbrella, not a sailboat series
- Who it suits: buyers interested in Downeast-style powerboats who want the Catalina ownership and dealer network
- What to verify: models, specifications, and availability are not detailed on the homepage—check the True North page and a dealer for current information
Company and Owner Resources
The site also gathers practical resources in one place:
| Resource | What it provides |
|---|---|
| Dealer Locator | A roster of dealers nationwide, including shows, events, and open houses with in-stock models |
| Parts & Tech Support | Phone line (727.493.6977) and address (7200 Bryan Dairy Rd, Largo, FL 33777) |
| News, History, Brochure Archives | Company background and archived brochures |
| Associations | Links to owner associations |
| Contact | General company contact |
How to Choose What You Need
- Replacing gear or buying apparel: start with the official retail partner store.
- Wanting owner community content: go to Mainsheet.
- Interested in a powerboat rather than a sailboat: look at True North Yachts.
- Needing service, a local dealer, or historical brochures: use Parts & Tech Support, the Dealer Locator, or the brochure archives.
Because the homepage does not list prices, subscription terms, or True North model details, treat those as items to confirm on the linked pages or with a dealer before making decisions.
