Overview
About this vessel
Catkin, a Catalina 320 built in 2006, ready to explore!
She is a good looking coastal cruiser with room for the family. Excellent sailing characteristics make this a sure-fire winner for those who want cruisability with a generous touch of performance thrown in for good measure. The Yanmar 27hp diesel has been cared for with regular service intervals and meticulous care, the bilge is spotless.
The boat comes with a Neil Pryde Assymetric Spinnaker with proper rigging to bring the sheets back to the cockpit with excellent stainless steel blocks and attachment points for the sail.
She has a great suite of electronics including new Raymarine Chartplotter with autopilot, diesel powered heat, huge aft cabin, electric windlass, dripless shaft seal, newer dodger with upgraded clear panels, stainless steel dinghy davits — the list just goes on and on.
Recently hauled out (May 2026) to complete new zincs on propeller shaft and MaxProp 3 blade folding propeller, and new bottom paint. Additionally, the owners have fully replaced the black water hoses and propane connections to ensure the boat is safe and ready for any adventure.
The Catalina 320 is an exciting design that successfully combines the best modern features and construction with Catalina's hallmark comfort and value. Based on a high-performance and high-volume computer-optimized hull design, the 320 is light on the helm and tracks well under sail or power. Motion and heeling are gentle and predictable. The 320 performs well in a variety of conditions, with either the available wing or fin keels. Racing skippers will enjoy the turn of speed and cruisers will appreciate the additional distance covered in a day's passage. Carrying the deck beam well aft created space for an exceptionally large cockpit. The wide coamings and ergonomically correct seats and backs are important features, considering the cockpit is where we all spend the most time when aboard. The weather decks are wide with molded-in non-skid and bulwarks, giving easy, sure access to the foredeck and standard below deck electric anchor windlass. Other important quality features of the deck include the stout aluminum framed opening deck hatches and ball bearing mainsheet traveler system. The rigging and spar systems are engineered for performance and durability. The fore and aft lowers with intermediate and upper shrouds make the rig very secure and easy to keep in tune. A rigid adjustable boom vang is standard. The unique interior is beautifully finished in a rich combination of teak, ash and maple hardwoods, complementing the beige textured fiberglass overhead and full hull liner. Attention to details like the custom molded galley counters with integral backsplashes, three separate lighting circuits in the main cabin, removable panels in the forward bulkhead, and a cedar paneled hanging locker set the 320 apart from the ordinary. The one-piece, integral molded fiberglass subsole grid system is rigid, strong and requires no maintenance.
