Three Big-Three 30s – The Beneteau 311, Catalina 310 and Hunter 326

The beneteau 311, catalina 310, and hunter 326 represent what could be called 'entry-level' cruising boats from the major makers, and here's how they could be compared....

In an ideal world, all sailors would start in prams at the age of six, then move to small, forgivingsloops, and then one-design racingboats, and then bigger cruising boats. But that’s rarely the way it works. In recent years there have been a considerable number of people able to proceed directly to “Go” and skip the early parts. This was a concept that stumped us while we looked for a way to compare “entry-level” cruising boats from the big boatbuilders. Obviously, people can enter cruising at any level, whether in a 50-footer, a trailer-sailer, or a battered old Rhodes 19 with a blue tarp and a cooler.

After surveying manufacturers, dealers, and owners, and considering the demographics of the sailing community and the profile of newcomers to the sport, we settled on a definition of “entry-level cruising boat” that would at least let us get our arms around an article. How about this: “a boat that lives in the water on a mooring or in a slip, and that has space on deck and below in which, say, four people can relax, eat, sleep, and travel in protected waters for a few days in decent comfort.”

We chose the Beneteau 311, Catalina 310, and Hunter 326. They seemed to match well in terms of size, sail area, ease of operation, accommodations, and price. Dimensions are comparable, as are working spaces on the deck, the type and arrangement of gear, cockpit size, and space and furnishings below. All are equipped with a suit of sails and headsail furlers. Sure, Catalina builds a 30-footer, and the 320 that could possibly have been included. Hunter has a recently introduced 306, a twice-stretched version of the Hunter 28… and so on. But this is a batch of oranges worthy of comparison. Depending upon options added, shipping, and commissioning, the range is $70,000-$80,000 for a new boat in this market. Competitive pricing makes these boats worth a close look when compared to used boats in the same size range.

An interesting aside: We learned in talking with builders and dealers that they know their market, including personality types, and the likely use of the boats. By their accounts, Catalina owners are more likely to sail, and work on, their boats; Hunter owners are more likely to use the boats for dockside entertainment, and reach for a credit card when repairs are to be made. Beneteau owners seem to fall somewhere in between.

The Companies

Beneteau, Catalina, and Hunter are the equivalent of the Big Three automakers-they produce the vast majority of sailboats sold worldwide. Beneteau is the largest producer in the world. Hunter, the largest in the USA, also has a European production facility. Catalina Yachts has become the second-largest builder in the US, and has an international distribution system. More than 70,000 Catalina sailboats have been built.

All three hulls have fuller, rounder shapes than production cruising designs of even a few years ago, and they’re a lot tubbier than traditional sloops. The type of design usually produces a big interior volume that maximizes the physical comfort of the crew dockside, usually at the expense of stowage space for the contents of duffle bags, and for boat gear.

Like many Beneteau models, the 311 was designed by Group Finot in France. She has a plumb bow, reverse transom, rounded bilges, and sloping cabintop. Mike Thoney of Beneteau USA describes the boat as being “designed to be easy to handle as a fast, contemporary, performance cruiser. The target market for the boat is younger families, and older sailors moving to smaller boats.”

The Beneteau plant in South Carolina has built 120 of the 311s since it was introduced in 1998.

Hunter’s 326 was introduced in May, 2001, and more than 100 have been delivered in the US since then. Like most Hunters built since the mid-’90s, it’s characterized by high freeboard, a round cabin, and a rounded stern accentuated by a rubrail that covers the hull-deck joint. A stainless steel arch over the cockpit to bear the mainsail controls is now a standard feature.

Glenn Henderson, chief naval architect and director of engineering for Hunter, says “the 326 buyer probably had a 24-26 footer, so this is his first boat that needs a slip. It can be comfortably used for coastal cruising, is more forgiving than older models, and has more responsive steering.”

Many readers will know Henderson for the fast sailboats he’s designed under his own name. It’s no surprise when he says, “We’re placing increased emphasis on the performance aspects of all of our boats, within the constraints of our owner group. Performance doesn’t just equate to speed, because our owners are family cruiser groups. We consider safety a performance criterion. Positive stability is a major concern. We know that our boats are used for entertainment purposes, but still design every boat to withstand the treatment given by more serious sailors. The 326 hull features a moderately full forward section designed to accommodate crew and stores without affecting trim. She was designed as a Category B boat for CE certification.”

The Catalina 310 is the most traditional- looking of the three, with a moderate overhang on the bow, high-aspect mainsail, and rounded stern. Standard headsail is a 135-percent genoa, but a 155-percent sail is an option.

“The boat was introduced in 1999, and we’ve built 212,” says Gerry Douglas, vice president and chief designer at Catalina. “The design started with the 320 six years ago. She has a fine forward entry, flat aft section, and narrow waterline beam. She’s rounded amidships to provide weight for load carrying without changing the trim.”

Compared to the others, the most significant difference is Catalina’s intent to make this boat a generous cruiser for two people, not a cramped cruiser for four. The forward stateroom is bigger and the berth easier to access than the others. The trade-off is that the aft sleeping area is wide open, enclosed by a curtain.

“We think it’s a radical departure from most small boats. We wanted a small boat with big-boat feeling, like our 38 without all of the extra furniture,” Douglas says. “It’s not worth trying to enclose the aft area because that would shorten the saloon. This is a ‘drink eight, feed four, sleep two boat,’ with a long cockpit for sleeping outdoors.”

It’s this kind of definitive builder’s statement that serves boatbuyers best-prospective buyers know immediately whether this boat will work for them, at least in its overall purpose. Douglas may lose a few at the outset, but it’s a much better approach than one that promises everything vaguely.

Deck and Cockpit

Three criteria apply in evaluating cockpits: the ease with which the helmsman and crew can operate the boat, crew comfort, and stowage. The size and accessibility of swim platforms and other accessories are separate considerations.

The rounded shape of the Hunter cockpit is described by owners as being “like a bathtub” compared to the more conventional shapes of the others. The Beneteau and Catalina carry the beam farther aft to a wider section at the stern, which makes for more comfortable seating space than in the 326’s stern quarter.

All are equipped with 32-inch stainless steel wheels large enough for steering while standing or seated amidships. However, the wheels are too small to allow driving from the rail. The Whitlock rack and pinion steering on the Hunter is an unusual touch, and seemed more responsive than the cable steering on the others.

All three boats are equipped with steering pedestals that house instruments and tables. The tables on the Beneteau and Catalina fold out of the way in front of the pod; the Hunter has 17″ long leaves on the side of an equally long pedestal. Though the pedestal has a built-in cooler, the design inhibits movement when the table is raised.

All three have adequate space behind the wheel to steer comfortably; however, space between the pedestal and

companionway on the Hunter is only 24″, compared to 36″-39″ inches on the others. The result is a cramped space for passengers near the companionway.

Conversely, the 43″ between seats on the Catalina is criticized as being too wide by owners who say the cockpit sole needs a footrest. “The first boats had one,” says Gerry Douglas, “but we removed it because owners said it was a toe-stubber.”

Owners. Can’t live with ’em… Let’s put it this way: If you want to actually sail the boat, you should spend a Saturday morning adding a teak strip to the sole; otherwise, passengers will be tempted to move aft and huddle with feet braced against the pedestal.

All three have 78-80″ long seats that allow a six-footer to stretch out for a snooze, and backrests 11-13″ high that provide lumbar support.

Storage on the Beneteau is in lockers running the length of the seats on both sides of the cockpit. These are large enough for dock lines and accessories, and an inflatable dinghy. The Hunter and Catalina have a hatch under one seat for use as an emergency exit for passengers in the aft compartment. That compromises the storage area; the Hunter partially offsets the loss by adding two storage compartments on the swim platform.

Rigging and Gear

The Beneteau has a single-spreader 7/8 rig; the Catalina has a doublespreader masthead rig. The Hunter’s mast is set in a double-spreader B&R configuration: Spreaders are swept aft and there’s no backstay. Shrouds are arranged in a diamond pattern; one set terminates on the rail, the other on the cabintop. Hunter claims that this arrangement allows the use of smaller mast sections, with a reduction of weight aloft, plus the use of full-roach mainsails.

Mainsail controls are mounted on a stainless steel arch over the cockpit. Appearance aside, there are a couple of arguments in favor of this arrangement: It keeps the mainsheet tackle and traveler out of the cockpit, and it allows the sheet to terminate at the end of the boom, a plus for sail shape control. The sheet is led from the end of the boom forward to the mast and then aft again to the cockpit. Harken traveler track and cleats are located on the arch; traveler control lines terminate near the helmsman’s fingertips. However, the traveler arrangement, as it turns out, is a $593 option that’s standard on the other boats. This may reflect the sailing proclivities of the target market.

A major disadvantage of the arch is that, absent a mainsail flaking system, you’ll need someone from the Chicago Bulls to get the sail settled on the aft end of the boom.

The Hunter’s competitors have more traditional stayed rigs. The Beneteau’s shrouds terminate on deck, the Catalina’s on the cabintop. Both have decks 16-18″ wide, and handrails, so movement forward when heeled in unimpeded.

Mainsail controls on the Beneteau and Catalina are forward of the companionway because few cruisers want the hardware to interfere with creature comfort. Both are equipped with a solid vang, however, which improves sail shape and performance.

Catalina wins the winch competition by installing four Lewmar winches as standard equipment. In comparison, the Hunter is equipped with two Lewmar self-tailers on the coachroof; coamings are pre-molded to house optional primaries. The Beneteau is equipped with three, but we doubt many owners will decline to purchase the optional fourth.

All three boats offer easy sailhandling capabilities, with halyards and sheets led to the cockpit. The Hunter offers better sail-shaping capabilities but, as one Hunter owner said, “that arch still reminds me of a Bayliner.”

Since we’re evaluating boats that are 32 feet long on deck, we don’t expect enough room below to host a reception for the Queen.

Saloons: The Hunter’s saloon, the largest of the three, is 128″ long from the bottom of the companionway step to the bulkhead, and 90″ wide from the settee backs. Any space created in the saloon has to come from somewhere.

In this case, its the cockpit.

All three boats have enough hatches on deck, and fixed and opening ports, to allow light and fresh air to flow freely, even in the heads and aft staterooms.

Light wood and white headliners on the Hunter and Catalina produce brighter spaces. Interestingly, Hunter now installs a “Whisper Soft” headliner that has removed 120 pounds from the overhead, “most of it putty,” says Glenn Henderson. The new liner is easily removed and replaced.

Despite the boats’ mid-range prices, all of the builders are improving the fit and finish of joinery. Hunter’s use of computers to cut wood sections produces a dramatic improvement over 10-year-old boats-enough to begin to rival Beneteau, the best finished of the bunch.

The primary difference between the layout of interior spaces is that the Catalina, as Gerry Douglas readily explains, is not designed to be the host boat at a rendezvous; the others are more likely candidates.

The Catalina features a pedestal table arrangement that allows a ‘cocktail table’ measuring 16×22″ to be converted to a dining table by placing a portable tabletop on the smaller unit. The 30-lb top is stored out of the way in the aft compartment. However, as one owner told us, “it’s cumbersome, and one of the only disadvantages of this boat.”

With 12-14″ more space amidships between the settee backs, the Catalina has more lounging space. Neither the dining area or settee to starboard are intended to be used as bunks, though.

In contrast, the Beneteau and Hunter have tables located amidships that, with leaves open, allow for comfortable dining by 4-6 adults. Six-footlong settees port and starboard provide comfortable seating and additional berths.

Galleys: Seacooks will be more impressed with the workstation in the Catalina or the Hunter than the Beneteau. All galleys are equipped with stainless steel sinks and doubleburner stoves. However, counter space in the Beneteau is a flat surface measuring 18×20″. The largest, the Hunter, has a C- shaped galley with a counter on the aft bulkhead measuring 21×36″, and an L-shaped work area at the sink.

Nav stations: as one builder told us, “navigation stations on this size boat are almost unnecessary since most instruments will be mounted on the pedestal, or be portable.” The Catalina has a small chart table aft of the stove, with seating on the aft bunk. The Hunter’s chart table has aft-facing seating on the port settee. However, instruments on the bulkhead must be surface-mounted or they’ll be exposed in the head. The Beneteau’s chart table houses a refrigerator, so has no legroom.

Sleeping accommodations: On the Hunter and Beneteau, overnight sleeping accommodations are in enclosed staterooms fore and aft. The Beneteau’s are more spacious: Aft to port, the skipper’s quarters house a berth wide enough to allow two to sleep fore and aft, leaving space below the cockpit for storage on the other side. Three ports, one on the stern, and reading lights provide ventilation and illumination. The berth in the forward stateroom is 80″ long, and 50″ wide at the shoulder.

Hunter’s aft stateroom offers room in which to dress with 6′ of headroom at its entrance, next to a large hanging locker. A queen-sized berth is oriented athwartships. The berth is only 4″ above the cabin sole, significantly increasing space overhead comparedto many aft staterooms. The forward stateroom pays for the extra space in the main saloon. With only 5’5″ of headroom, the V-berth is 6’5″ long with an insert in place, but abuts the forward bulkhead, leaving no room to stand when the insert is in place.

The Catalina has the best stateroom of the lot, a queen-sized berth on an island in the bow with 24″ of clearance between bulkhead and berth. The aft sleeping compartment is large enough for children or one adult.

Heads: The Catalina’s head gets the nod. It’s larger, and has a shower separated by a hanging curtain. An 18×15″ mirror covers a deep medicine cabinet. Cleaning supplies can be stored under the sink.

So, in a nutshell, the Beneteau and Hunter offer more living and sleeping areas; the Catalina will more comfortably accommodate a couple or a family with small children. The Hunter and Catalina have larger galleys; the Hunter and Beneteau the better nav stations.

Construction

The construction methods used in these boats bear a striking resemblance to each other-a reflection of the degree to which the industry is becoming standardized. All three companies follow techniques that allow the mass production of lower-priced boats by combining the most efficient use of labor with volume purchases of raw materials. They generally buy most raw materials and equipment from the same suppliers, and use many of the same computer models. The differences these days are primarily in the execution of the layup schedule.

In effect, the companies construct a hull into which a grid-and-beam system is installed, along with liners (pans) that define spaces belowdecks and provide furniture bases. Similarly, decks are molded and laid over flanges, to which they are bonded and through-bolted. A rubrail or toerail typically conceals the hull-deck joints.

In the past, these methods often produced ill-fitting bulkheads and squeaky cabinetry. More recently, accurately molded components and improvements in bonding material have significantly reduced those problems.

Common denominators are the use of vinylester resins to prevent osmotic blistering, 3M 5200 (or, in the case of Beneteau, “3M-like materials”) to bond hull-deck joints; various combinations of mat and roving, and deck gear solidly attached to backing plates.

Hunter lays up hulls using “Hunter Kevlar Technology.” Glenn Henderson says there’s a lamination of four layers of hybrid E-glass and Kevlar in high-impact areas from the forward edge of the keel to the stem. The hull is solid fiberglass under the waterline; above the waterline topsides are laid up with a combination of Coremat and Baltek end-grain balsa. Decks are laid up with woven roving and cored with marine-grade plywood. Aluminum backing plates are laminated into the deck where hardware will be mounted, and winches are through-bolted. Plywood is used un-der low-load halyard and sheet organizers.

Gerry Douglas says the layup of the Catalina 310 mirrors that of the companys predecessor 320: The hull is solid fiberglass with a double thickness on the centerline. The deck is cored with plywood, and the cabintop with end-grain balsa.

Catalina has been installing aluminum backing plates in the layup to provide a solid base for deck hardware for several years. Hardware is installed in tapped holes to ease removal for maintenance, prevent deck leaks, and eliminate dimples in the headliner. These are certainly good features, but we’d like to express the same concerns we did last month in our review of the Cabo Rico 38, which uses a similar system, but in stainless steel: If the threads in these plates are stripped, or if stress fractures develop in the surrounding glass, it will bring on a major headache.

The largest manufacturer of sailboats in the world, Beneteau has mastered the art of reducing labor and material costs while moving boats quickly down the production line. Like those of its many sisters, the 311’s hull is solid fiberglass reinforced by an internal grid system of beams and stringers. A monocoque approach is taken to the installation of bulkheads, which are bonded 360 degrees to the hull and deck.

The deck is cored with balsa for stiffness, and a liner provides additional stiffness, insulation, and facilitates maintenance.

All three of these boats are constructed to meet CE Standard B, the designation for coastal cruisers in Europe.

Like their counterparts in the automobile industry, boat manufacturers are learning that adding options to the base boat has its advantages. It removes many purchase decisions. (What kind of microwave, honey?) It adds high profit-margin items to the purchase price. And it helps eliminate problems created by aftermarket installations.

There are some significant differences: Catalina and Beneteau both provide refrigeration as standard equipment; Hunter does not. Hunter includes a Raymarine VHF radio/ knotmeter/depthsounder package, the only instrumentation that’s standard on the three. However, Hunter charges for the mainsheet traveler ($593), and primary winches (Lewmars, for $990). Catalina, much to its credit, includes four winches as standard gear.

Performance

We sailed all three boats, but it would be unfair to base a performance comparison on our tests. The Catalina had a full-cut main; the others mainsail furlers that reduce sail area by 17-20%. Headsails were different sizes. One boat was loaded to the gunwales, another stripped bare. One bottom hadn’t been cleaned in a year.

However, we did form some opinions: All three sail well in light air, and can tack within 80-90. Their helms are well-balanced. The Hunter is the tenderest, especially in moderate puffs. She would benefit from a built-in foot brace, since steering while heeled and sitting isn’t comfortable.

We sailed the deep-draft versions of all these boats: They all forged ahead nicely after some initial heeling in puffs. Presumably they would lose some lift and develop more leeway in their shoal-draft configurations.

All will exceed 6 knots on a reach in 12-15 knots of wind, but we wouldn’t call any of them fast. Performance suffers especially when sailing below a broad reach, when small headsails are blanketed by the main. We can’t imagine owning one of these boats without a light-air drifter.

Based on numbers alone, they should perform to within 10-15% of the each other. Though the Beneteau is 30% lighter than the Catalina, the latter boat did well in light air, and will probably be more comfortable, and drier, in a blow or steep seas. The SA/D and D/L indicate that the Beneteau and Hunter are faster, but these numbers ignore the positive aspects of a good hull shape, and we think the Catalina loses nothing here.

All the builders have maximized the use of space, albeit in different ways. Construction methods are similar.

They are nicely appointed, if not well-equipped. Deck hardware is laid out and sized properly for typical inshore sailing conditions. The engines, too, seem properly sized; we motored at 5-6 knots easily with little noise below.

There’s no way to pin down which of these boats is the “best.” Any of them will meet the needs of “entry-level” sailors, according to the definition we made early in the article, and it really comes down to what shape pleases you, what minor variations in accommodations suit you best, and how you like the feel of the boat when sailing it.

The Beneteau is arguably the bestfinished of the lot. It’s also the least expensive and, on paper, the fastest. The Hunter has more innovative design features (including the arch), and a good layout below for a quiet getaway. If we had to pick one ourselves, though, we’d go with the Catalina, despite the weight and the extra expense. We like the hull form and the familiar sailing characteristics. We also favor the “open floorplan” on a boat this size-privacy isn’t as important as air and traffic flow. The 310 is likely to prove the most comfortable for a combination of family life and sailing.

Catalina 315

• By Herb McCormick
• Updated: September 21, 2012

In the last three years, Catalina Yachts has revamped and redesigned its entire line under the collective banner of the 5 Series, which includes the 355, the 385, and the 445. The fourth and most recent member of the clan is the 315 , and as the late-afternoon shadows lengthened on Biscayne Bay, we stepped aboard the boat and shook hands with the architect of these changes, Catalina’s chief designer, Gerry Douglas.

Douglas readily admitted that for many years, Catalina’s corporate philosophy was to be the “price leader” in the new-sailboat marketplace, but with the introduction of the 5 Series, the company has made a conscious effort to maintain good value while also loosening the purse strings a bit to provide a level of standards and features that some might not expect from the brand. Douglas cited bigger engines, larger battery banks, generous electrical panels, increased tankage, and all-teak interiors—in a package that’s better built, more comfortable, and performs better—as examples of what Catalina is trying to achieve.

Yes, that sounds like a tall order bordering on hyperbole. But over the years I’ve sailed many a Catalina, and in my opinion, with the 315, at the very least, Douglas and his team have significantly raised the quality bar.

At just under 32 feet, the 315 feels like a much bigger boat. Little touches make significant differences. Take the split backstays for the lofty, double-spreader rig, which open up the space in a cockpit that’s already wide, workable, and ergonomically balanced. Or the extended settee in the main saloon—to starboard, opposite a spacious U-shaped settee, dining table, and galley—which wouldn’t be out of place on a boat 8 feet longer and which maximizes the interior space by doubling as the seat for the aft-facing navigation station.

On the 315, the little things keep adding up, and as the old adage goes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Take the curved handrails strategically placed from the cockpit going forward, so you have something to grasp on to while moving about the boat. Or the dual companionway closures, a folding door on hinges for everyday use and traditional slots for offshore work. Or the little sprit for the asymmetric sail, so the tack is set forward of the bow for utility and efficiency. Or the huge anchor locker, the aft side of which doubles as a collision bulkhead.

Of course, all this would be moot if the boat sailed poorly, but the 315 had that base covered as well. Again, with the breeze still less than 10 knots, the frisky little sloop registered 6.8 to 7.0 knots with the easily set asymmetric cruising kite sheeted in on a tight reach. By the time we doused it, the wind, unfortunately, had vanished completely, but under power, the 315 still moved well, just topping 7 knots at 2,800 rpm.

Before we’d gotten under way, I’d received the subtle impression that Gerry Douglas was quite pleased with his latest work. After testing the boat, now I realized why.

The foreclosed mortgage was $177,956.00. A search through Yachtworld’s database of active 387 Catalina listings plus ones that have sold in the U.S. in 2016 show the average listing price is $152,166 and the AVERAGE SALES PRICE is $147,785. SHANNON has the desirable shoal / wing keel, blue hullsides, traditional rigging, and has lower hours showing than any other that I could find on the market! I am told that the previous owner passed away last winter. The bank holding the mortgage subsequently foreclosed upon SHANNON and she is now available for an incredible buying opportunity! Please view the 200+ photos of this 387 Catalina to see just how much this one shines! SHANNON is powered by a 40hp Yanmar diesel engine. The hour meter on the tachometer reads just 334 hours on it. This Catalina has two staterooms, a fully enclosed head & shower, plus a large main salon. She is hull number 62 from the factory. Here are some of the other features that I am aware of: Ultraleather seating surfaces in salon Windlass Anchor System Teak and holly flooring in the salon and staterooms Electric head Princess gas stove and Oven Delonghi Convection Oven Propane solenoid valve Acu-Gage water level monitor Water heater Standard Horizon VHF (appears newer) In-counter drop-in refrigerator Xantrex Power Inverter Charles Battery Charger Bow dodger Color Raymarine chartplotter/ radar unit at the helm Raymarine radome on the mast Raymarine autopilot at the helm Sony XPLOD Stereo with CD Changer Based on my observations, this Catalina exhibits a number of features and benefits beyond what I would consider an average 387 Catalina of this year. My observations include: The flag blue paint exhibits tremendous shine The sails, covers, and rigging lines appear to be in good, if not excellent, condition The stainless rails all appear to be in good condition and exhibit great shine The cabin appears to have been lightly used She has the optional air conditioning for the master stateroom (see note below) Her bow dodger and associated canvas appear to be in serviceable (if not good) condition Her engine appears relatively clean in appearance She has a newer LCD television in the salon with DVD player Her manuals are present She has the desirable WING KEEL/ SHOAL DRAFT (4’10”) She has brand new 4D batteries that were installed in October (2016). Based on looking at SHANNON and moving her to her current slip, I noticed the following imperfections/ items that may need attention: The board on air conditioning unit appears to need replacement. The A/C initially powered up for me on October 21st and blew cold air, however, the breaker tripped about 10 minutes after running. Power was checked and is good going into the board; however, it appears that the board shorted. This is relatively common for A/C units as we had a board failure two weeks ago on one of our vessels in Florida. (We had a board replaced for $600 last month in Florida.) There is area of paint on the starboard side that shows imperfections if seen up close. Upon closer inspection from various angles, I could see that there was a prior repair in that area that goes above the waterline to the cap and runs forward from mid-ship to the bow area. I am guessing that the surface in that spot was not prepped well enough for the paint. See photo.There are some spots on the interior wood walls where the stain has lightened. (The most noticeable areas are directly behind the shelf adjacent to the sofas. If SHANNON were my personal vessel, I would let the areas be and not bother re-staining/ refinishing.) The map table has discoloration in the wood. (I would plan to refinish this, if SHANNON were my personal boat.) While I consider the interior and exterior to be relatively clean in appearance, the next owner may desire to spend some hours (or hiring a detailer) to go through each hatch / surface / cubby hole to greater clean the appearance to his or her liking. The macerator pump appears to need replacement as its breaker trips immediately. I moved this boat on October 21st on Back Creek in Annapolis, Maryland. She started right up and ran great while underway. There are sails in the AFT stateroom. Please see the photos. To me, each looks to be in good condition. Note that my observation is solely based on what I can visually see of them in the stateroom. The mast is currently in storage near SHANNON’s current slip. Port Annapolis Marina quoted 14-16 hours to rig + tune the mast. They charge $105 per hour for rigging. Other yards will charge less, but for the purposes here, I recommend budgeting $1800 to re-step the mast. For those that desire to transport this Catalina via truck, it is a benefit to keep the mast down until she reaches her new destination. The sails are currently in the aft stateroom. They look exceptionally clean to me. It is important to note that of those sold comps above; the vast majority had more hours. (Average hours are generally accepted at 100 hours per year. I will be happy to send out the comps to those that request via email.) Further note that those numbers reflect the average prices. In my experience, comps with high hours, significant flaws, and high wear and tear tend to sell below the average price. Those comps with low hours, few flaws, and low wear and tear tend to sell above the average price. WE ENCOURAGE ALL SERIOUS PARTIES TO INQUIRE AND LOOK AT SHANNON. You may contact me, Rob, directly at 561-676-7250. We are looking to get SHANNON sold in the next few weeks. Do keep in mind that once this Catalina is sold, the chances of being able to find another at this opportunity will be nearly impossible. Please note that I am in Florida. We do not have any sales representatives located in Annapolis, however, I do have a couple of friends in Annapolis that can assist. SHANNON is currently winterized and on land in Annapolis (off Back Creek). Please keep in mind that SHANNON is a bank foreclosure and it is not my personal boat nor did I know the prior owner. I am not able to speak to the ins / outs of this vessel nor am I able to speak about how she sails, etc. My comments above are solely based on my own observations. I am sure there are more flaws than what I observed as she is a 10 year old+ vessel. This is not a brand new or perfect vessel. SHANNON will be the 3rd Catalina that we have sold in past year. Given the circumstances, information available, time of year, etc, we have set her WAY below average prices. I believe this represents an opportunity for the winning bidder to purchase SHANNON well below what the other 387s have been selling for on the traditional retail/ brokerage market. Please understand that I have done my best to represent the vessel as I notice it to be. Neither I, Aqueous, the financial institution, nor any other agents express or imply any guarantees or warranties whatsoever about this vessel (or any vessel). The description and photos do not represent any guarantees about the condition of the vessel or accuracy of any information. WE ENCOURAGE ALL BUYERS TO DO THEIR OWN INSPECTIONS / OBSERVATIONS PRIOR TO PURCHASING. Please understand that this is not a brand new yacht. Accordingly, we do not expect it to sell for the same price as a brand new one. Buyers are welcome to have the vessel inspected and surveyed. Any survey will be for the buyer’s benefit and will not constitute a price reduction or negotiating tool. Florida residents or anyone wishing to bring this Catalina to the State of Florida will be required to pay the state sales tax of 6%. We have a clear and marketable title to this vessel. SHANNON was previously documented with the United States Coast Guard. Upon qualification and a $84 application fee (if no lien is recorded), the new owner can obtain a USCG Certification documentation certificate in his/ her own name. If the owner desires a state issued Certificate of Title, then Aqueous can obtain a Florida Certificate of Title for the next owner if applicable fees and taxes are remitted. (Certificates can take up to 60 days to obtain.) Personal and/or professional inspections are very welcome prior to purchasing. Please feel free to call Rob with Aqueous Yachts at 561-676-7250 to come look at this beauty. Keep the saying in mind on this one: "The yacht that you found today and will consider tomorrow is the same one that another guy found yesterday and is considering today".DescriptionBasic InformationYear: 2005Make: CatalinaModel: 387Stock Number: 422VIN: CTYU0062H405Condition: UsedType: CruiserUse: Salt WaterHull TypeHull Material: FiberglassLength / BeamLength (Feet): 38.7Beam (Feet): 12.4EngineEngine: Single Inboard/OutboardEngine Make: OtherPrimary Fuel Type: DieselEngine Hours: 934Engine Horsepower: 40SpecificationsKeel: Shoal DraftBridge Height: 50.11Draft Distance: 4.9 ContactAqueous Yachts 18487 SE Federal Hwy Tequesta, Florida 33469Ask for:Rob ButlerDirect:(561) 676-7250Email: Email SellerEmail SellerEmail to FriendComplete and submit the form below to send a message to our dedicated sales team.* First Name:* Last Name:* Email:* Phone: Ext.

1987 - 30’ Catalina Tall Rig in Excellent Condition

New Bedford, Massachusetts

Model Tall Rig Racer / Cruiser

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Length 30' Beam 11' Headroom 6’4” Draft 5'3" Displacement 10,200 Lbs / lead Ballast 4250 Air Draft (Mast Height over the waterline) = 48' It is in very good condition, is well maintained. It’s last cruise was recently New York to New Bedford Massachusetts. The "tall rig" model is the rare premium cruising racer model with more sail area for speed, and more headroom for comfort. I founded a non-profit boating organization, and this Catalina is too large for unsupervised novice use. We are selling way under book value. It looks good, as you can see from the photos. It has fresh bottom paint, and the teak bright work was just redone. It can be launched tomorrow and sailed to the Bahamas. Just start the engines, hoist the sails and you are on vacation. The 21 HP Universal Diesel runs smooth and strong and starts instantly. Catalina has an excellent reputation for spacious comfortable layouts, good fit and finish, easy sail handling, solid construction, stable safe sea keeping, durability and dependability. This Catalina is easy to inspect in the waterfront boatyard New Bedford MA. Serious buyers only please. • This boat is in better than average condition, and well maintained. • Ray Marine Chart plotter at helm • New high end VHF • Exceptional quality and condition of deck hardware, mostly Lewmar. • 3) new Lewmar self tailing winches (worth about $3,600) • Sails in Good Condition • All sail management can be done from cockpit without, and boat can be easily single handed. • Sleeps up to 6 • Perfect for single or couple // or couple with children. No complicated systems to break. Easy and inexpensive to own, insure and maintain. • Dual burner propane stove and Dual Galley Sink • 3 Batteries with two battery banks and an aggressive charger. • Swim ladder and dingy outboard mount. • Stout, high safety rails and hand holds everywhere. I pay only $311. insurance for full coverage with small deductibles. This is a very affordable boat to own and operate. I may be able to provide a free mooring for the season in New Bedford Harbor. Boat US valued this Tall Rig Catalina last fall at $21,101. The full appraisal is available on request. This is not a “survey”. The “Drop Dead” price is $10,500 Take it or leave it. Don’t waste your time or mine on lower offers. Might consider trade for excavation equipment. I am offering this boat for ½ the book value for a quick sale. It is a good boat, ready to launch. I believe it is very good to excellent condition and a fantastic value. It is a used boat, don’t expect perfection. Pay the $150,000 for a new Catalina 31 if you want perfection. If you want the exact same life experience for seven cents on a dollar, and it doesn’t bother you that someone else owned it first, this boat is a great deal. CALL for more information and a viewing. Then sail into the sunset. The boat is in a first class high security, full service New Bedford Boat yard.

The engines are in good running condition, showing good oil pressure, with 1431 original hours, and can be driven anywhere. It would make a great family cruiser or big water fishing boat owing to the large aft deck. This boat would benefit from a polish and wax to make her look her best.

The starboard is original and runs great. Structurally, she is good condition, with no signs of damage or abuse. There are no major scratches, nor are there any repairs. The decks are solid, and the bottom has anti-fouling paint. These boats are renowned for having fiberglass stringers that are impervious to rot. The soft goods are in fair condition. The cabin upholstery and carpet is in good shape, except the V-berth, which could use new upholstery. There are sleeping accommodations for 6 adults, 2 in the V-berth, 2 on convertible settee, and 2 on sofa/bunk beds. The galley is nice, with AC/DC refrigerator and 2 burner electric/alcohol range and sink. The head has an electric marine toilet and shower.

Category Express Cruiser Boats

Length 28.0

This boat is in very good running condition. My original intention was to refit all systems and have accumulated all the major parts to do so. Check below to see all items included that will need to be installed. I have had the boat since 2006 (believe I'm the 4th owner) and have taken it on several trips over the years without problem. Had to cancel two trips this year due to family obligations. Reason for selling is my current situation is not conducive to keeping the boat. Overall length is 29'10" including the swim platform with a beam of 10'8". It has a hardtop and large cockpit, yet the cabin is still very spacious for a 28 footer. Original motor was a Marine Power 305, but previous owner repowered with a 350 block in 1992. Hours are unknown due to the hour-meter being faulty and disconnected when I purchased the vessel. I knew the previous owner and felt confident with the boat/engine condition. I have put roughly 60 hours on the engine. Shaft, cutlass bearing, and seal were replaced in 2008. The seal is PSS dripless. Propeller is a Nibral 16x18 new this year. Also have a spare bronze prop. Electronics - Standard Horizon CP300 Chartplotter w/ current chart card, FF550 Fishfinder & ST526 Transducer, Standard Horizon GX 3000 VHF New Equipment NOT installed: Plumbing - Raritan Sea-Era electric head (Mod 160MF012), Sealand 28 gal. holding tank, 6 gal.

However, I will be out of town July 25 - 31. Buyer must take delivery within a reasonable amount of time at boat club on Grosse Ile, MI where vessel is currently docked. All expenses for delivery/transport will be responsibility of buyer. I will pay for hoist service at it's current location on Grosse Ile if needed.

2001 Catalina 31

• Description

Seller's Description

The Catalina 310 is a 31.1 (9.49m) cruising sailboat designed by Gerry Douglas (United States). The Catalina is in a very good shape, overhold inbountmotor, good sails and laying in Luperon Dominican Republic.

Equipment: Gas stove and oven, fridge, new cushions…. Sorry, the autopilot doesn’t work. The vessel comes with its own mooring. Has two solar panel and a wind generator. 4 one year old batteries.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

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

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

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.

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.

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.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

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.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

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.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

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.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
