Excellent condition 1988 Catalina 30 MKII TM BS. Exceptional example of the most popular recreational 30 ft. sailboat ever manufactured. This hull number 5388, out of 7,000 built, has all the proper improvements and adjustments: Tall Mast Sail Plan M25XP Universal 23HP Diesel Engine, Wheel Steering, T-shaped Cockpit, Improved Rudder, The most opening ports.
50 gallon water supply in 2 tanks, Dual batteries (new batteries 2021). Recent upgrades: Garmin Plotter, Raymarine autohelm, all 4 ST winches are oversized; excellent cockpit canvas for comfort; sails new in 2015 (serviced in 2020); improved line controls led to the cockpit for easy sailing; Folding prop.
Always a fresh-water boat. The space above and below decks offers unmatched live-aboard comfort in a 30 footer.
She is set-up and equipped for comfortable, extended cruising.
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)
