2008 Catalina 309

This 2008 Catalina 309 is a 31-foot fiberglass sloop built for comfortable cruising and coastal sailing. The boat is powered by a single 21-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine and features a beam of 11 feet 6 inches, providing good stability and interior volume.

The cabin layout centers on a main saloon with a folding table that stores against the main bulkhead and a folding game table to starboard. Forward is a sliding V-berth filler that adjusts between day seating and a full berth configuration, with a hanging locker and drawers nearby. Aft is a large double berth with its own hanging locker. The galley includes a two-burner stainless LPG stove with oven, a refrigerator/freezer with stainless interior, and a 10-pound LPG tank. A single head completes the accommodation spaces.

The 309 is equipped with practical cruising features: an anchor locker forward with provision for an optional electric windlass, a cockpit locker with gull-wing access hatch and flat floor, and an A.C./D.C. electrical panel with room for future expansion. Power management automatically switches between DC and AC systems. The rig is secured to the hull via a tie-rod structural system with leak-proof ball-and-socket chainplates, designed for durability and reduced maintenance.
