Additional product information:

The 1985 Catalina 30 is a proven coastal cruiser, known for its roomy interior, solid sailing performance, and value. With a 10’10” beam, it offers a surprisingly spacious cabin layout, including a comfortable V-berth, convertible salon, and a functional galley—ideal for weekend cruising or longer stays aboard. The fin keel version draws 5’3″, providing good upwind performance, while the tall rig improves light-air sailing. Built with solid fiberglass hulls and robust deck fittings, it’s a boat that has aged well. The tiller steering gives great feel, and systems are generally simple and accessible for DIY upkeep. With a reliable Universal diesel, the Catalina 30 remains a practical, budget-friendly option for sailors looking for comfort without sacrificing performance.
