Wild Blue Yonder is a fresh water Catalina 270, designed to provide rewarding performance and comfortable
accommodations for the active
sailing family.
Both goals are accomplished through the selection of a stable hull form with generous beam and fine entry forward. This approach delivers a hull that is wide at the sheer for maximum deck space, reserve buoyancy and good performance to weather.
Semi-elliptical wing keels are matched with a balanced elliptical rudder to insure predictable handling and a balanced helm in a variety of conditions.
The rigging has double spreaders with fore and aft lowers which make the mast very stable, easy to set up and tune. This design provides the narrow shroud base necessary for proper
Genoa sheeting to weather.
The deck is highlighted by a "big boat" cockpit seats with ergonomically contoured
seat backs necessary for long term comfort aboard. This has been a fresh water boat for it entire existence and has been extremely well maintained. The bilge is bone dry and most of the equipment has been added or replaced in the last 10 years. Wild Blue Yonder includes, Nmea 2000, 6 bags of sails including 2 spinnakers, and all accessory and trailer which was completely rebuilt in 2014.
