Seller's Description
The owner bought this boat in 2016
General condition and any additional information
Bella Donna is a 1992 Catalina 30MKII tall rig. She has been sailed exclusively on western Lake Superior in the Duluth/Superior and Apostle Islands regions.
She is a well behaved boat, sailing well both up and down wind. The battened main and roller furling headsail make sail handling easy. The Universal M25XP motor starts easily and runs well. With the 23HP motor and three bladed prop you will never have an issue making way in any weather. When youre ready to anchor the shoal draft keel makes it easy to pull in tight to anchorages and spend the night on the water. The spacious cabin sleeps six, two in the V Berth, two on the cabin table, and two in the deep quarter berth.
She comes with a full instrument set (wind, depth, speed, and a new autopilot in 2019) as well as a Standard Horizon CP150 GPS/Chart Plotter. Most of the running rigging has been updated over the past 3 years. Both sails were new in 2014.
The boat has been updated to LED lighting through out the interior as well as LED anchor and deck lighting. The two lead acid batteries were purchased new in 2016.
Finally, the galley is well situated with a two burner LP stove and oven, adler barbour 12 volt refrigeration system, and dual stainless steel sinks. A six gallon Seaward S600 water heater (new in 2016) provides hot water for the head, galley, and cockpit shower.
When it comes to winterizing Bella Donna comes with a new (2020) custom winter cover–no need for expensive shrink wrap each year.
The Catalina 30 is a classic boat with years of history and a strong community found online and in marinas around the country. Bella Donna is a fine example of a boat that will provide years of fun for you and your family.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
7.1 kn
Classic: 6.7 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
-
14.9
<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
-
41.1
>40: stiffer, more 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
-
291.0
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
-
24.7
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

Last Catalina 30 was built in 2008.
