Here is what Bob Perry, Naval Architect had to say about the Catalina 320 in Sailing magazine:
"I am always amazed at the quality of design and tooling that goes into new Catalina models. They are great boats in a very affordable package. The in-house design group at Catalina, headed by Frank Butler, is able to incorporate everything you could want in a family cruising boat. New Catalina models are examples of extensive research and mock-up work, such as the Catalina 320. The hull shape is fairly moderate in all aspects, although beam has been exaggerated and pushed aft as with a lot of the French boats we see. This is done to increase cockpit area and usable interior space. I'm not wild about fat boats. But note the size and location of the double berth aft; there is the advantage of beam. There are two keels available with either a 4-foot-3-inch or 6-foot draft. The D/L is 230 and the ballast-to-displacement ratio is 35 percent, typical for a boat like this........"
