The Catalina 315 sails into the global marketplace with all the style and refinement of the larger Catalina 5 Series boats.
With core attributes of the award-winning 445 and 355, the 315 includes features that are not found in many of the world's yachts, yet come standard with the Catalina 5 Series: a watertight StrikeZone collision bulkhead, the SecureSocket mast support system that affords superior load resolution and watertight integrity; the DeepDefense rudder system for failsafe steering, and the T-Beam MastStep? structure that has all the benefits of a deck-stepped mast and the strength of a keel-stepped mast.
On deck, the low profile cabin design has a sleek appearance and low windage. The durable, diamond non-skid pattern adds an element of safety. An internal flange hull-to-deck joint is capped with a slotted toe rail, and the wide deck design allows effortless movement forward. Oversized traveler and winches ease sail handling in all conditions. The cockpit is optimized for efficiency with ergonomically correct features and great visibility from the helm. The instrument pods are in easy line of sight, both port and starboard.
