Catalina 30 Mk II

The Catalina 30 is a series of American sailboats, that were designed by Frank Butler and later by Gerry Douglas. The boat was built by Catalina Yachts in the United States, but it is now out of production. During its production run from 1972 to 2008 in many versions the design sold 6,430 boats, making it one of the most successful keelboat designs ever built. The Catalina 30 design was replaced in the company's line by the Catalina 309 in 2010.

The Catalina 30 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel.

The Mk II model was built between 1986-1991 and was designed by Gerry Douglas. Improvements include a T-shaped cockpit and a new deck and liner design. It has a length overall of 29.92 ft (9.1 m), a waterline length of 25.00 ft (7.6 m), displaces 10,200 lb (4,627 kg) and carries 4,200 lb (1,905 kg) of lead ballast. The boat has a draft of 5.25 ft (1.60 m) with the standard keel and 3.83 ft (1.17 m) with the optional wing keel. An optional tall rig has a mast about 2 ft (0.61 m) taller. The boat has a hull speed of 6.7 kn (12.41 km/h).
