This 1989 Catalina 30 MKII is located in Madeira Beach, FL. Her slip where she is berthed is also available/transferable to the new owner if one is required. This vessel is equipped with a main sail with twin main-sheets, furling jib with twin jib sheets, and wing keel. Additional sheets and tackle are mounted for additional sails; e.g., Genoa and Spinnaker. As for electronics, this vessel is equipped with the Ray Marine GPS, Autopilot, and Depth Sounder.
The Catalina 30 may well be the most successful 30' cruiser-racer ever made. Since the Catalina 30 went into production in 1974, output has been steady, and thousands have been built.
The success of Catalina is even more remarkable when you consider that the company doesn't advertise. You will not find a single ad for Catalina in any national magazine. The company depends on its extensive dealer network and on word of mouth promotion from satisfied owners.
The line has grown over the years, and Catalina now makes a 22, 28, 30, 34, 36, 42 and 50, all available with either a fin or wing keel.
The Catalina 30 is a typical, fairly light displacement modern design. The boat has a swept-back fairly high aspect ratio keel of the type made popular by IOR racing boats in the early 1970s. The high aspect ratio spade rudder is flared into the under-body with a small skeg.
The boat is conventionally modern in appearance. She is moderately high-sided, with a fairly straight sheer and short ends. The cabin trunk tapers slightly in profile, and is slightly sheered to complement the sheer of the hull. When coupled with the tapered cabin windowsââ?¬â??a Catalina trademarkââ?¬â??this yields a reasonably attractive appearance compared to many modern boats.
GREAT PRICE, ...BELOW MARKET!!!

Limited Headroom: Although spacious, the cabin headroom is moderate, which might be a consideration for taller sailors seeking more standing space.
Keel and Rudder Issues: Some owners have reported concerns with the original keel bolts and rudder bearings, so thorough inspection is recommended when purchasing.
