Opinion
Catalina Yachts’ chief designer, Gerry Douglas, introduced the Catalina 310 in 1999 and well over 300 hulls were built through 2008 when the design was discontinued. Unapologetically optimized for a couple, the 310 was a departure from other brands of this size as it didn’t make any promises it couldn’t keep – it’s a very functional boat for two.The construction of the 310 mirrored its predecessor, the 32. The hull is solid fiberglass, the deck is cored with plywood and the cabintop with end-grain balsa. A grid-and-beam system and a liner were then installed. The boat has a deep fin keel and draws 5’ 9”. A shoal wing keel was an option and saved almost two feet below the waterline but for better pointing ability the boat does well with a deep keel despite its 11’ 6” beam. A large spade rudder keeps her very maneuverable in tight spaces.
Design and Build
The Catalina 310 boasts a well-thought-out design with an emphasis on cruising comfort. It features a sleek hull and a moderate fin keel, offering stability and ease of handling. The build quality is solid, with a hand-laid fiberglass hull that ensures durability and longevity. The boat's overall length is 31 feet, with a beam of 11.5 feet, providing ample interior space without compromising its agility on the water.
Deck and Cockpit
One of the standout features of the Catalina 310 is its spacious cockpit, which is designed for both relaxation and efficient sailing. The cockpit seats are long and comfortable, ideal for lounging or accommodating a crew during a sail. The walkthrough transom and swim platform are practical additions, making it easy to access the water or a dock. The deck layout is user-friendly, with all lines leading aft to the cockpit, allowing for easy single-handed sailing.
Interior Comfort
The interior of the Catalina 310 is surprisingly roomy for a sailboat of its size. The open layout features a large V-berth forward and an aft cabin, both providing comfortable sleeping quarters. The main saloon is bright and airy, with plenty of natural light from the large windows. The galley is well-equipped with a two-burner stove, a microwave, a refrigerator, and ample storage, making it convenient for extended cruising. The head is spacious and includes a separate shower area, a luxury in this size range.
Performance
Under sail, the Catalina 310 performs admirably. It is designed for ease of handling and steady performance in a variety of conditions. The sail plan includes a furling genoa and a mainsail with a Dutchman flaking system, simplifying sail management. The boat’s moderate displacement and balanced sail area ensure a smooth and responsive ride, whether in light winds or more challenging conditions. The inboard diesel engine provides reliable auxiliary power, making docking and maneuvering straightforward.
