Solving the Dodger Dilemma

We like going one size over what is often recommended for smaller boats. The advantages are a.Less stretch. Nylon can be too stretchy, but polyester not stretchy enough. One size over can be a Goldilocks answer. b.Better wear resistance. Because we like using short chain when hand-hauling, we cover the first 10 feet with a webbing chafe guard. This is very cut resistant, because unlike the rope inside, it is floating and not under tension. c. Better grip. ⅜-in. is pretty hard to grab with the wind is up. ½-in. fits our hands better.

Beneteau 311, Catalina 310 and Hunter 326 Used Boat Comparison

The beneteau 311, catalina 310, and hunter 326 represent what could be called 'entry-level' cruising boats from the major makers, and here's how they could be compared....

Would love to get a estimated pricing for a In-Boom Furling Mainsails for my Hunter 310 if they make such a item, it would make single handed sailing manageable.

In-boom or in-mast furling can jam up and prevent you from reefing. Even Ben Ainsley (multiple times olympic gold medal winner and America’s Cup participant) had that happening to him and had to be rescued. I have seen that happening be it on windy San Francisco Bay Area or in the BVI. Slab reefing is the most reliable way to shorten a sail. It is easy: mark the halyard for the reef, drop it to the reef point, hook in the tack hook, pull in the reef line and you are done. Don’t use single line reefing because you have different power ratios by the reef line on the tack and the clew. Richard Leute

I’m confused, help me understand. In your article you state that “Depending upon options added, shipping, and commissioning, the range is $70,000-$80,000 for a new boat in this market”, but it looks like the Catalina 310 was last produced in 2012, what am I missing?

The Catalina 310 represents an innovative approach to a cruising boat design, as it incorporates the big boat features many couples desire in an easily handled, stable, thirty-one foot hull. The cockpit will comfortably daysail a group and has long seats for napping or sleeping under the stars. Cockpit lockers are numerous and large enough to hold all your cruising gear. The side decks are extra wide and secure for easy movement forward and aft. Sail controls and anchoring systems are well thought out for ease of handling. The accommodations are designed primarily for a couple, with a large owner's cabin forward. A queen size centerline berth, innerspring mattress, and large bank of drawers will appeal to both captain and first mate. Lockers are located both port and starboard. Catalina owners have come to expect excellent light and ventilation, and the Catalina 310 provides plenty of both.

New Flagship Marine AC 16k btu installed August 2012 to keep you in comfort all year long.

Catalina 315

By Herb McCormick
Updated: September 21, 2012

In the last three years, Catalina Yachts has revamped and redesigned its entire line under the collective banner of the 5 Series, which includes the 355, the 385, and the 445. The fourth and most recent member of the clan is the 315 , and as the late-afternoon shadows lengthened on Biscayne Bay, we stepped aboard the boat and shook hands with the architect of these changes, Catalina’s chief designer, Gerry Douglas.

Douglas readily admitted that for many years, Catalina’s corporate philosophy was to be the “price leader” in the new-sailboat marketplace, but with the introduction of the 5 Series, the company has made a conscious effort to maintain good value while also loosening the purse strings a bit to provide a level of standards and features that some might not expect from the brand. Douglas cited bigger engines, larger battery banks, generous electrical panels, increased tankage, and all-teak interiors—in a package that’s better built, more comfortable, and performs better—as examples of what Catalina is trying to achieve.

Yes, that sounds like a tall order bordering on hyperbole. But over the years I’ve sailed many a Catalina, and in my opinion, with the 315, at the very least, Douglas and his team have significantly raised the quality bar.

At just under 32 feet, the 315 feels like a much bigger boat. Little touches make significant differences. Take the split backstays for the lofty, double-spreader rig, which open up the space in a cockpit that’s already wide, workable, and ergonomically balanced. Or the extended settee in the main saloon—to starboard, opposite a spacious U-shaped settee, dining table, and galley—which wouldn’t be out of place on a boat 8 feet longer and which maximizes the interior space by doubling as the seat for the aft-facing navigation station.

On the 315, the little things keep adding up, and as the old adage goes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Take the curved handrails strategically placed from the cockpit going forward, so you have something to grasp on to while moving about the boat. Or the dual companionway closures, a folding door on hinges for everyday use and traditional slots for offshore work. Or the little sprit for the asymmetric sail, so the tack is set forward of the bow for utility and efficiency. Or the huge anchor locker, the aft side of which doubles as a collision bulkhead.

Of course, all this would be moot if the boat sailed poorly, but the 315 had that base covered as well. Again, with the breeze still less than 10 knots, the frisky little sloop registered 6.8 to 7.0 knots with the easily set asymmetric cruising kite sheeted in on a tight reach. By the time we doused it, the wind, unfortunately, had vanished completely, but under power, the 315 still moved well, just topping 7 knots at 2,800 rpm.

Before we’d gotten under way, I’d received the subtle impression that Gerry Douglas was quite pleased with his latest work. After testing the boat, now I realized why.

TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ALL THE 6 SERIES CHANGES AND OPTIONS, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL CATALINA DEALER!

The journey to new photos has just begun. Here’s a sneak peek at a few of the 6 Series improvements, including New Windows, Toe Rail, Corian, Keel and the Butler Explorer Pedestal.

A new era in keel design.

The journey to the 6 Series began in the spring of 2023 with a comprehensive update to our keel shapes. Our design team, working closely with Mars Metal, embarked on a mission to enhance the hydrodynamics of our keels, resulting in shapes that offer superior lift and reduced drag. This fundamental change was driven by our commitment to optimizing sailing performance across all conditions.

The updated keel designs not only improve speed and handling but also enhance stability and safety, ensuring that sailors of all skill levels can enjoy a smooth and responsive sailing experience. These advancements mark a significant step forward in our continuous effort to innovate and elevate our sailboat designs.

The New Selden Rig: Precision and Performance

Building on the momentum of our keel innovations, the second major change in the 6 Series is the introduction of the new Selden rig, which began in the fall of 2023. Selden, a leader in rigging technology, has collaborated with Catalina Yachts to develop a state-of-the-art rigging system that maximizes performance and ease of use.

The new Selden rig features advanced materials and engineering techniques, resulting in a rig that is both lighter and stronger. This allows for more precise sail control, improved aerodynamics, and increased overall efficiency. Sailors will appreciate the ease of handling and the enhanced performance that the Selden rig brings to the 6 Series models.

Partnerships and Collaborations

The development of the 6 Series would not have been possible without the support and expertise of our major partners. Companies such as Mars Metal, Selden, Garhauer, Edson, Sensar, Webasto, Southco, Doyle, Lewmar, and Dometic have all contributed to the success of this new series. Their innovative products and unwavering commitment to quality have played a crucial role in bringing the 6 Series to life.

Supplier Excellence and the Role of UMMA

In addition to our major partners, the 6 Series is supported by a vast network of suppliers, including hundreds of companies that provide essential components and services. Our purchasing manager, Joe Langdon, maintains close relationships with these suppliers, ensuring that we receive the highest quality materials and products. The United Marine Manufacturers Association (UMMA) has also been instrumental in facilitating these partnerships, helping us to achieve the level of excellence that Catalina Yachts is known for.

Feedback-Driven Innovation

At Catalina Yachts, we value the input of our sailing community. The development of the 6 Series was heavily influenced by feedback from both direct calls with owners and our new owner survey app. This feedback helped us identify the features and improvements that our customers wanted to see in our updated models. We are proud to say that the 6 Series reflects the desires and expectations of our loyal sailors.

Looking Ahead: A Commitment to Excellence

The launch of the 6 Series is a continuation of more than 50 years of pushing the boundaries of yacht design and performance. Catalina Yachts remains dedicated to our core values of quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. We are excited about the future and introducing new models that will further enhance the award-winning Catalina lineup and furthering our commitment to American Luxury.
