For sale is a 1987 Catalina 30 MkII in very nice condition. She is a standard rig, fin keel, and has been a freshwater boat on Georgian Bay and Lake Ontario. We have cruised her out of Penetanguishene since 2009, and she has been an extremely reliable and comfortable yacht. With interior headroom over 6 and a generous 1010 beam, she has a spacious interior, and the upholstery is in excellent condition. She has been very well maintained (incl. annual inside winter storage) and continually updated over the past 14 years that we have owned her. Features include a Johnson Aqua-T electric head, a mini-fridge, a two-burner propane cooktop with flame-failure cutoff, a Xantrex 1000W inverter/charger, and a PSS dripless shaft seal. She had two coats of VC17 this year, and the hull and rudder are sound.
This is a great opportunity to own a really nice example of one of the most popular 30 sailboats ever built, in turnkey sail-away condition.

Sails and Rigging
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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
