Catalina Design Comments The Catalina 270 was designed to provide rewarding performance and comfortable accommodations for the active sailing family. Both goals are accomplished through the selection of a stable hull form with generous beam and fine entry forward. This approach delivers a hull that is wide at the sheer for maximum deck space, reserve buoyancy and good performance to weather. The rig has double spreaders with fore and aft lowers which make the mast very stable, easy to set up and tune. This design provides the narrow shroud base necessary for proper genoa sheeting to weather. The deck is highlighted by a big boat cockpit with Catalinas hallmark full-length cockpit seats with ergonomically contoured seat backs necessary for long term comfort aboard. In the cabin are all the amenities for weekend retreats and more extended family vacations. Comfortable seating around the varnished teak table provides a great place for meals, relaxing, reading or playing games. The galley is well-planned for the cook, with special attention given to usable storage, a large ice box, and flip up counter over the two-burner stove. The head is a single piece molded unit that is easy to keep clean and fresh. In the sole is a standard shower pan. By night the aft cabin is a private and comfortable retreat for two. The berth forward can be extended and enclosed for two, with the settees functioning well as single berths. To provide more time for owners to enjoy sailing the 270, low maintenance materials have been used on deck and mechanical systems have been designed for easy access for service. Quality materials and engineered structural systems carefully assembled promise the 270 to be durable, reliable and a pleasure to own for many years to come. Interior cushions in good condition

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)
Wing keel draft: 3.5’/1.07m.
LE (Luxury Edition) version also available.
