Seller's Description

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.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.1 kn
Classic: 7.09 kn

Hull Speed

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.

Formula

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

8.05 knots
Classic formula: 7.09 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.5
16-20: good performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

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.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
16.52
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
35.4
<40: less stiff, less powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

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.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

35.39
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
230.2
200-275: moderate

Displacement / Length Ratio

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.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
230.18
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
22.2
20-30: coastal cruiser

Comfort Ratio

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.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
22.21
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
2.1
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

Capsize Screening Formula

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.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
2.09
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Draft for winged keel vers: 1.3m/4.25’
Updated MARK II version introduced in 1999.
