I'm wondering if anyone can confirm that a total of 6,600 Catalina 27s were built over the life of the original model. My information shows that the first year of production was 1971, but I'm not sure when the last were made (probably about 1982). Also, does anyone have any idea of how many were built in California and how many were built in British Columbia? If my information is correct, Cooper built Catalina 27s in B.C. from 1973 to 1981, then destroyed his molds.
I'm asking this as background for a magazine article (Pacific Yachting) I'm writing on Catalina 27 modifications owners have made, as seen at our first ever B.C. C27 rendezvous held last summer. Peter Robson C27 Nesika Garden Bay, BC [email protected]
