Loads of new stuff!!!!
The boat is supported by an active class club, the Catalina 27-270 Association.[8]
Catalina 27s have been sailed from the mainland US to Bermuda and the Caribbean, and have also carried out globe circumnavigations.
In a 2002 review of the design as a used boat, Sail magazine writer John Kretschmer noted: "you buy it to have fun on the water. One of the most surprising features of the 27 is how nicely it sails. The boat is fairly well balanced, and according to several owner reports, thrives upwind in moderate conditions. In heavy air the 27 is a bit tender and one owner suggests putting the first reef in the main at 12 knots." He concluded, "The Catalina 27 didn't become one of the most popular boats ever built without good reason. It offers good sailing, comfortable accommodations, one-design fleets and active owners groups.
