This is a beautifully upgraded 2005 Catalina 320 Fin sitting on Flathead Lake in Montana. It is a wonderful cruising or racing sailboat and you will likely agree that it beats the competition in comfort and convenience. It has a deep fin keel with a draft of 6 feet 3 inches, so upwind and in a blow it outpoints, outsails, and is more stable than similar shoal draft Catalinas.
It is outfitted with fairly new and little-used Doyle sails that include a stack pack main with full battens and a 142% furling genoa. There is a new Gori three-blade folding propeller with overdrive that adds 20% more speed in forward and a Garmin color chart plotter C172 with GPS and west coast maps. Other items include Raymarine ST60 instruments with a knotmeter, depth gauge, wind direction, and a recently installed Raymarine ST4000 autopilot.
The galley features a 2-burner propane stove with oven, a huge super-cold freezer and refrigerator, and Corian countertops. The galley is supplemented with a large Magma propane grill on deck.
There is a Sony stereo with four Bose indoor/outdoor speakers, 6” mattresses in the captain’s quarters and the V-berth. It sleeps 6. There is a stainless NicoFico solar exhaust vent in the head, a new Jabsco elongated toilet, a hot and cold shower, and a new handheld hot and cold sprayer on the stern.
The engine is a professionally-maintained Yanmar 3 cylinder 29 hp 3YM30 diesel motor with power provided with two recent 4D lead batteries. There is a 40-watt rigid solar panel, and one 110-watt flexible solar panel. That’s a total of 150 watts of solar with a solar information panel in the main salon. Solar power will keep the refrigerator cold and operate electronics indefinitely in summer months and keep the batteries charged all winter. Many spare parts and filters are also included.
The cockpit sports an updated dodger and bimini cover and updated like new marine blue cockpit cushions. On deck you will find a 28 pound white powder coated Danforth anchor with 15’ of chain and 150’ of braided Samson line; one 13 pound stern anchor with 100’ of line; a tri-radial spinnaker with a 12’ pole, a Maxwell 500 electric windless, and a huge swim step and ladder.
This sailboat was only used in the summer for two to three months every year in NW Montana for the last nine years due to Flathead lake changing elevations in the Spring and Fall. Great boat for NW cruising or racing.
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)
Draft for winged keel vers: 1.3m/4.25’
Updated MARK II version introduced in 1999.
