The 381 Catalina Double Cabin is an enlarged version of the very popular 350 Catalina intorduced by Chris Craft a few years earlier. Built on solid fiberglass, low-deadrise hull with a relatively wide beam, the 381 has an enormous interior for her size as well as a small but family-friendly hel/aft deck platform. Accomadations include two roomy staterooms, stall shower enclosures in both heads, adequate storage and full walkaround decks-not bad for a 38-foot cruiser. The helm is level with the aft deck, so the helmsman isn't seperated from the passengers. Additional features include a roomy engine room accessed via hatches in the salon sole,a bow pulpit and a swim platform.
