About the CATALINA 350
Draft for wing keel version: 1.37m/4.5'
Designed by Gerry Douglas and built by Catalina Yachts in the USA, the Catalina 350 was produced in 2003. This single-year production run resulted in a distinct cohort of boats that serve as a benchmark for early-2000s coastal cruising designs, with specific structural characteristics defined by its 2003 build date.
- Best for:
- The Catalina 350 is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a spacious, comfortable interior and easy handling over extreme performance or heavy bluewater capability. Its design favors relaxed cruising, making it ideal for couples or small families exploring protected waters and inshore passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 12937.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.22, the boat offers moderate stability for coastal passages, but its fin keel and relatively light displacement suggest it is not optimized for heavy offshore conditions without significant reinforcement.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau 373 and the Hunter 37, which share similar displacement ranges and interior volume profiles from the same era. These models offer similar masthead sloop rigs and cabin layouts, appealing to buyers seeking a balance of comfort and moderate performance in the 35-foot class.
