Catalina Yachts

Anyone who is associated with the sport of yachting and boating would be aware of the brand name of Catalina Yachts. Basically in the market of boats, the Catalina Yacht brand is known as one of the most established yacht brands in the market having a US-based builder, which is constructed out of fiberglass monohull sailboats that are also sloop-rigged in their design. The diversity of the sizes in the range of offerings is huge from about eight feet to around forty seven feet in the prospect of length measurement. It was in the year 1969 that this great company of Catalina Yachts was found in the region of Hollywood that is located in the state of California, which is indeed one of the biggest states of the United States of America. The person who was the founder of this company was Frank Butler who took the credit of establishing one of the most prestigious yacht manufacturing brands in the market of boats and yachts.

However the initial intention of the founder of Catalina Yachts (that would be Frank Butler of course) was not to sell boats or even produce boats. As a matter of fact, the initial intention of Frank Butler revolved around building a yacht of his own. He first ordered the manufacture of his own personal yacht but when the manufacturer whom he had hired to manufacture his yacht actually happened to run out of funds and instead borrowed money from Butler to construct his own yacht, it was then when Butler actually got the chance to finance his own personal yacht specially when the manufacturer was not able to repay the debt that he had owed to Frank Butler. When it was impossible for the yacht manufacturer to produce the boat on his own or to even repay the debt that he had borrowed from Frank Butler, he handed over the mechanism and tools to Frank Butler in order for him to continue building the boat. That was when Frank Butler gained the full control of the company and later on eventually named the brand ‘Catalina Yachts’ before the brand went through several initial names such as Wesco Marine and also Coronado Yachts.
