Meet Invitation II…
A single-owner Catalina 320 now on the market for the first time, Invitation II is easily in above-average condition. She has been a British Columbia boat since new, has never been chartered and exemplifies “pride of ownership”. Mechanical records detail a history of professional maintenance since new. Don’t wait on this one. Invitation II shows like a boat less than a third of her age!
Since its release in 1994, the 320 has been an extremely well-received model by local sailors and Catalina enthusiasts. This sought after model features a larger than average galley, sleeping and dining areas, in a hull that is a joy to sail. Easily singlehanded, the sail plan can be managed safely by one yet is versatile enough to sail well in any conditions around the PNW. The Catalina 320 is ideal for the cruising couple with occasional guests or a small family.
