This 1997 Catalina 34 MKII should be high on your list if you are looking for a solid coastal cruiser with many upgrades.
This boat is equipped with new main and jib sails, new batteries, new navigation equipment, Bluetooth radio and a new smart solar system creating a good foundation for your cruising plans. However, she will need new upper shrouds and a backstay before doing any heavy sailing.
Topsides you’ll find the usual Catalina layout with a nice dodger and bimini protecting the cockpit. Dinghy davits on the stern along with an inflatable and outboard motor allow you to go exploring when anchoring out.
She has fresh bottom paint (2023) and the shallow draft wing keel making her a great shallow water sailboat perfect for the keys and Bahamas.
The seller is very motivated so don’t hesitate to make an offer that works for you.
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)
CATALINA MII has a redesigned hull with a wider deck aft but the SAME as the earlier version at the waterline to allow one design racing.
All boats have a deck stepped mast with compression post.
Seats on the stern pulpit.
New head mold for better drainage and easier cleanup. Revised deck mold, elimination of dorade vents, lower traveler, revised companionway hatch and slides, elimination of virtually all topside teak, relocation of engine control panel to steering pedestal, fixed cockpit table (option?), new interior cabinetry with louvered teak fronts in lieu of sliding black Plexiglas, addition of hanging locker in aft cabin, revised galley counter with trash bin and elimination of fold-up counter extension, rubber flooring in galley area, revised and relocated electrical panel.
