Gerry Douglas, (August 1, 1950) American Yacht Designer of American built, sloop-rigged, fiberglass production sailboats, became Chief Engineer and Vice President of Catalina Yachts in the early 1980s. The company was founded in California by Frank Butler in the late 1960s, and Douglas joined the firm in 1976. He designed more than 40 sailboat models and supervised production of every boat in the Catalina Yachts line since that time,[1] from sailing dinghies to the Catalina 545. More than 60,000 Catalina Yachts sailboats were manufactured. During his four-decade long tenure as chief of engineering and design, Catalina Yachts became one of the top sailboat manufacturers in the world. Gerry Douglas was a partner with Frank Butler in this privately owned company for more than two decades. Gerry Douglas is an official nominee for induction into the National Sailing Hall of Fame.
Gerry Douglas is a graduate of Parsons School of Design, where he studied industrial design[2]; he is also an alumnus of the Westlawn School of Yacht Design.[3]
