About the CATALINA 545
Hull Length: 53.5 ft Displacement is lightship.
The Catalina 545 is a modern fractional sloop designed by Gerry Douglas and built by Catalina Yachts (USA) starting in 2020. With a displacement of 36000.0 lb and a beam of 15.5 ft, it represents a significant step up in size and comfort for the brand, though specific hull build counts remain unverified in current data.
- Best for:
- This vessel is best suited for coastal cruisers and families seeking a spacious, comfortable liveaboard experience with modern amenities. Its fractional rig and manageable dimensions make it accessible for short-handed cruising, though its size requires adequate dockage.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 36000.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.88, the boat exhibits moderate offshore stability, though its relatively low D/L ratio of 124.79 suggests it is optimized more for coastal comfort than heavy-weather bluewater passage making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Beneteau Oceanis 54.1 and the Hanse 530, which offer similar fractional sloop rigs and interior volume for coastal cruising. These boats share the 545's focus on interior space and ease of handling over pure racing performance.
