About the CATALINA MORGAN 440
Maximum Draft: 5.75'/1.75m. Renamed the Catalina 440 in 2010.
Designed by Gerry Douglas and built by Catalina Yachts (USA) from 2004–2012, the Catalina Morgan 440 is a substantial cruising sloop with a displacement of 25528.0 lb and a beam of 14.0 ft. While the exact hulls built count is unspecified in the source data, the model is characterized by its comfortable interior and robust construction, though owners report significant maintenance challenges.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a spacious, stable platform for family cruising, provided they are prepared for rigorous maintenance of structural components. It is less ideal for single-handers due to its size and weight, but appeals to couples or families prioritizing interior volume and comfort over high-performance racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 25528.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.91, and a fin keel, the boat possesses the stability and mass for offshore passages, but critical structural issues like deck core moisture and keel cracking must be resolved before considering bluewater use.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau 46 and Hunter 44, which offer similar interior volumes and cruising comfort from the same era. The Morgan 440 distinguishes itself with a heavier displacement (25528.0 lb) and a more traditional cruising layout compared to the lighter, performance-oriented designs of some contemporaries.
