Seller's Description
This 2003 28’ Catalina 28 Mark II has everything for an easy day sailing and is ready to sail today. The boat is a great weekender for any beginner or experienced sailor looking to go to sea with friends and family. It is well equipped with a Universal 25XPBC diesel, easy-to-fly sails, and a 3’ 5” draft able to go almost anywhere there are shallow waters.
This vessel does not come with a trailer but can be easily transported. Many new additions have been made to the boat, including cockpit cushions, a Sunbrella bimini, dock lines, running rigging, and recent bottom paint. This little cruiser is ready to go and will offer you lots of fun on the water.
Enter the salon from the center line companionway and down 3 steps, and you will find the private head-to-port with marine toilet, sink, opening port, and multiple storage areas. Moving forward are twin settee cushions surrounding the dinette table with lockers under and V-berth forward with an opening hatch. Moving aft to starboard, find the galley with storage lockers, one burner propane stove top with cutting board cover, and sink with a hand pump, followed by the electrical panel and the aft berth with access to the water ballast, battery, battery charger, and holding tank.
The boat sleeps four, with a forward berth and a roomy aft berth. The private head has a toilet and sink. The cabin feels surprisingly roomy for a 28-foot boat.

Calculations
- Hull Speed

7.0 kn
Classic: 6.54 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
14.4
<16: under powered
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
38.5
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
274.2
200-300: moderate
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
22.3
20-30: coastal cruiser
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.0
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
A taller mast was available.
Winged Keel vers. disp.:8200 bal.:3500 draft:4.5’
Changes from previous version:
Aft hull section widened. (larger aft cabin)
Redesigned galley.
Improvement of basic sail controls.
