1980 Catalina 30

The Catalina 30 is among the most successful cruising sailboats ever built, with a proven design that has earned a devoted following. This 1980 example features a solid fiberglass hull, a Universal diesel engine, and displays the balanced proportions and seaworthiness the class is known for.

Below deck, the yacht offers two cabins and one head, with five berths total and 6.25 feet of headroom throughout. The salon layout provides comfortable living space for extended cruising, while the cockpit is well-proportioned for handling under sail.

The boat has received considerable attention over recent years. The Universal 5411 diesel engine was rebuilt in 2017. Salon and cockpit upholstery was renewed in 2018, followed by new rigging and sails refitted in 2019. A major systems overhaul in 2020 addressed plumbing, electrical, brightwork, flooring, deck, and hull. The prop shaft and cutlas bearing were replaced in 2026. The yacht is equipped with a cold blowing marine air conditioning system. Maintenance documentation from 2017 onward is available.
