Catalina Yachts has just launched the all-new Catalina 320 Mark II — a stylish, new generation mid-sized yacht. The 320 MkII is a prime example of Catalina’s tradition of constantly upgrading and perfecting existing models.
Created from the successful original 320 introduced in 1993 with over 1,000 hulls built, the 320 MkII incorporates contemporary styling, upgraded ergonomics and the latest convenience features while retaining the excellent performance and handling characteristics of the original 320.
Maintaining the sail plan, weight and underbody of the original model preserved the integrity of the class, so one-design 320 racing sailors can compete aboard the newly redesigned model. The 320 MkII model was influenced by over a decade of comments and input from experienced 320 owners.
The 320 MkII is built from all new optimized molds for every fiberglass component. The new deck design features a modern sculptured cabin structure and cockpit. Sail handling is easier with a single side control, ball bearing traveler and improved cabin top control layout.
Cabin comfort is enhanced with a longer v-berth and a forward hanging locker. The galley has custom solid surface counter tops and a front-loading stainless steel refrigerator. A top loading, well-insulated icebox can also be used as a refrigerator. Storage is optimized with additional cabinetry and bins.
In addition, all lighting, ventilation, steering, electrical and plumbing systems were upgraded and fine tuned to create the all-new MkII edition of the popular Catalina 320.

Two conservators for the Australian War Memorial remove the left sponson of the British Mark IV female tank nick named “Grit”. This is the first time this sort of work has been done on Grit since it was assembled during the First World War.
Narrated by Mike Cecil, Head of Military Heraldry and Technology, Australian War Memorial.
The story of Grit:
The British Mark IV Female Tank Serial 4643 was sent to Australia to assist in raising War Loans, it’s first stop was Adelaide in September and after a public naming competition the name ‘Grit’ was bestowed on the tank by Lady Galway, the wife of the South Australian Governor. The tank then moved onto Melbourne and was exhibited at the Royal Agricultural Show where it was just as popular as it was in Adelaide. In October the tank was railed to Sydney for display. An admission charge of eleven shillings was made for adults and three pence for children. For the sum of ten pound ten shillings a ride around a specially constructed circuit could be purchased and for five pound five shillings the tank could be inspected at close hand. The tank was used in few displays during 1919 and was placed in storage in the Army engineering depot in South Melbourne and later transferred to the Australian War Museum. Eventually Grit was moved to Canberra and is now on display in ANZAC Hall at the Australian War Memorial. The tank was commanded by Captain NL Brown.
