Thoroughly enjoyed for the last 20 years by the same couple, this Catalina 34 is ready to sail the Chesapeake or explore the islands. She is outfitted with features suitable for long range cruising including full cockpit enclosure curtains, dinghy davits with tender & outboard, and an isolated starting battery to get you back underway after gunkholing for the night. Above deck you will find wide paths to the bow and easy access to the swim platform via the walk through transom. Cockpit cushions soften the ride and a custom teak cockpit table makes dining alfresco enjoyable. Down below you will find one of Catalina’s most popular layouts with 2 private staterooms and a large salon perfect for entertaining guests or living aboard while heading to the island of your choice. The large aft head provides ample space to move around and a shower seat makes cleaning up easy. The forward stateroom sleeps two in a v-berth configuration with closet and drawer storage. The private aft stateroom provides a large double berth and double seat along with closet storage. Her galley features a stainless steel double sink, microwave, 2 burner LPG stove/oven, and refrigerated ice box new in 2015. There is a 120 volt refrigerator as well for use when plugged into shore power. Please see the full specifications for all features and updates. This Catalina won’t last long so make an appointment today to see her!
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)
