1986 Catalina 30
Designed as a performance cruiser, this vessel is equally at home racing around the lake or cruising the coast. She boasts a comfortable deck as well as spacious accommodations. The Catalina 30 offers more boat inside and out than most production sailing sloops and it’s why she remains so popular. With 6’4” interior head room she makes even tall sailors comfortable. All lines lead to the cockpit for ease of single handing. A bimini top, pedestal steering, and a swim ladder, make her a joy whether at sea, at anchor, or at dock.
The Catalina 30 represents an a innovative approach to cruising boat design, as it incorporates the big boat features many couples desire in an easily handled, stable thirty-one foot hull. The cockpit will comfortably day sail a group and has long seats for napping or sleeping under the stars. Cockpit lockers are numerous and large enough to hold all your cruising gear.
The side decks are extra wide and secure for easy movement forward and aft. Sail controls and anchoring systems are well thought out for ease of handling. The accommodations are designed primarily for a couple, with a large owner’s cabin forward, with a centerline berth, and large bank of drawers will appeal to both captain and first mate.
Lockers are both port and starboard. Catalina owners have come to expect excellent light and ventilation, and the Catalina 30 is no exception. The main cabin is plushy upholstered with deep comfortable seating. Forward is a close-able opening in the bulkhead and built-in hardware to allow for TV viewing from main cabin. Also, there is a double berth aft for guests. The galley has everything for memorable meals aboard:, a refrigerator, deep double stainless steel sink, with lots of handy storage.
The best part is for you to come and see for yourself all of the excellent features offered by this very special Catalina.

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)
BMW diesel (9hp) offered as an option.
