Improve Your Catalina 30: Upgrading the World’s Most Popular 30-Footer

The Catalina 30 is a remarkable success story. We suspect that more Catalina 30s have been built than any other boat of that size anywhere in the world. While the basic boat has remained unchanged since it was introduced in 1975, there have been dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of minor developments in the boat in the course of a produc­tion run that is approaching 4,000 hulls.

The advantage of a boat in production for so long is a high degree of product refinement over the years. The challenge for the owner of an early version of the boat is to upgrade his boat to the standards of models currently in production.

In the case of the Catalina 30, a number of bulletins have been published by the builder over the years, detail­ing improvements to the boat. In addition, there is an ac­tive owners’ association, and many individual owners have embarked on significant programs of upgrading their boats.

As a rule, the changes to the boat over the years of pro­duction have been true improvements. At least one change, however, was less successful. The original changeover to diesel power resulted in a boat that was significantly underpowered, according to many owners.

Almost all the suggestions presented here for the upgrading of the Catalina 30 come from owners. Over 80 responded to the detailed questionnaire about the boat, and many added more pages of comments to the responses. The owners responding own boats that run the gamut of the production history of the Catalina 30, from hull number 2 to hull numbers well over 3,000!

Here, then are the suggestions of Catalina 30 owners for the improvement of the world’s most popular 30-footer. Not all will be applicable to any particular hull. Many of the changes suggested or performed by owners of early boats were incorporated into the production of later boats. In addition, some of the changes became factory retrofits, so that some older boats have been upgraded to the specifications of newer models.

Hull and Construction Details

Until very recently, all through hulls in the boat below the waterline consisted of gate valves screwed onto pipes fiberglassed into the hull. Current models utilize RC syn­thetic seacocks incorporating recessed through hull fit­tings.

The advantage of the old system is that there is no ex­posed, drag-inducing external skin fitting. The disadvan­tage is that gate valves are a generally poor substitute for seacocks, since it is not always possible to determine if they are open or closed, they can be jammed in the open position by debris, and they are as a rule more subject to corrosion.

Replacement of the gate valves with proper seacocks, either of tapered plug or ball valve construction, is recom­mended. Proper skin fittings should be installed at the same time, and these can either be faired in externally, or recessed (see Better Boat, February 1984).

As a rule, deck hardware is installed with large washers, but without proper backup plates. Stanchions, pulpits, and cleats can be made stronger by the addition of aluminum backup plates to help distribute load.

Like many other builders, Catalina has finally abandon­ed running lights mounted in the topsides. If being seen at night is a priority, install a pulpit-mounted combination running light, as is used in current production models of the Catalina 30.

Generally a little more attention to bottom detailing on the Catalina 30 should get you a little more speed. The rather large gap between the skeg and rudder should be filled in with fairing flaps to reduce crossflow. This im­provement, suited to many boats, will be detailed in a future issue. In addition, lines and seaweed can jam bet­ween the forward part of the rudder blade and the bottom of the skeg. A deflecting rod, perhaps a piece of 5 11 6″ diameter bronze rod, can be glassed into the bottom of the skeg, just overlapping the opening between the rudder blade and the bottom of the skeg. In New England, this type of rudder/skeg configuration, without the deflector, is known as a potcatcher because of the amount of lobster pot warp that can lodge in the opening.

Prop skeg configuration has changed slightly over the years, but as a rule, the skegs are fairly clean airfoil bronze castings. On the new Catalina 30s we examined, the casting was quite rough, however, and would benefit from a touchup coat of epoxy and microballoons, followed by a thorough sanding to smooth it out.

Prop wash when under power can make the Catalina 30 a bear to handle for extended periods. The original rudder was redesigned, and many older boats have been retrofitted with the improved rudder which greatly reduced the helm problem. If you bought your Catalina 30 used, and find the helm excessively heavy when powering, contact Catalina for information on the new rudder. If in doubt, send a photograph of your rudder to the company. Theyll tell you whether you have the new or old version.

Rig The rig of the Catalina 30 is decidely old fashioned, with its untapered mast tube, wooden spreaders, and unanodized mast and boom. Mast and boom should be painted, both to reduce surface oxidation and improve appearance.

Standing rigging, chainplates, and rigging fittings bring negative comments from a surprising number of owners, who consider this part of the boat a weak point. Beef-up kits for lower shrouds are available from the builder at nominal cost, and most older boats have had this modification If you have an older boat and don’t know, compare your boat to a recent model nearby or take a picture and send it to the builder.

If you have closed body, stainless steel turnbuckles, replace them with open body turnbuckles of bronze, chromed bronze, or mixed bronze/stainless steel construction. Steel on steel turnbuckles have a nasty habit of seizing, and the closed body makes its difficult to judge the amount of adjustment left in the screw.

The small diameter wire used for shrouds and stays stretches excessively, according to some owners, making it difficult to maintain headstay tension. Going up one wire diameter, at least on forestay and backstay, is suggested by many owners.

Although it is rarely mentioned by owners, we would suggest replacing the wooden spreaders with airfoil aluminum spreaders.

Internal halyards, led aft along the cabin top to the cockpit, are a popular modification. There is just enough room between the forward edge of the seahood and the cabintop handrail to put turning blocks on the deck for the halyards. Be sure to stagger the halyard exit holes on the mast, and fit them with chafe guards to keep the halyard wires from eating into the mast tube.

The boat quickly develops weather helm as it heels, a not uncommon trait of wide boats such as the Catalina 30. Even sailing upright on a broad reach, there is a fair amount of weather helm. This is minimized with the tall rig/bowsprit option, and can be reduced on the standard rig by raking the mast forward slightly, and having the mainsail cut with minimum roach. Unfortunately, reducing the roach gives away sail area that the boat may need in light air. We see no reason why the bowsprit couldnt be added to the standard rig boat to move the center of effort of the sail plan further forward. This will, of course, increase the boats rating under any racing rule.

Although the shrouds are set well inboard, the genoa track is mounted atop the toerail. This may be fine for reaching, but it leaves too wide a sheeting angle for going upwind, according to owners. Installing a genoa track inboard, between the stanchions and the cabin trunk, would decrease the sheeting angle by about 5 , and significantly improve windward performance. It may be necessary to install foot blocks at the aft end of the existing genoa track to get a good lead to the sheet winches, but this inboard track could probably be used with the working jib as well, which has a poor lead to the jibsheet winches without leading the sheet through a second block on the outboard track.

Traveler location is problematic. At the aft end of the cockpit, the lead to the boom is poor, and the mainsheet can pose a problem when jibing, according to owners. Locating the traveler forward, over the companionway, both interferes with the companionway and complicates the installation of a dodger.

As on most boats, we suggest the installation of the largest self-tailing jibsheet winches that will fit atop the coamings. Overkill is a nonexistent word when it comes to handling headsail sheets, and the self-tailer is the only way to go. Once youve tried them, youll never go back.

Engine and Installation Over the years, five different engines have been used in the Catalina 30: the workhorse Atomic Four gasoline engine, and the Universal 5411, Yanmar YSB12, Universal Model 18, and Universal Model 25 diesels. The engine compartment was designed for the Atomic Four. Some of the diesels present a tight fit.

According to owners, boats equipped with the Yanmar YSB12. and Universal 5411 diesels are underpowered. The current Universal Model 18 is only slightly larger. The two most desirable engines are the Universal Model 25 and the Atomic Four.

The Atomic Four is relatively quiet and powerful. All of the diesels are more noisy, and with the exception of the Model 25, much less powerful. If youre going to repower, go to the Universal Model 25. Slight modification of the hatch under the port settee will be required to fit the diesel, which is about 3 taller than the Atomic Bomb, as it is affectionately known.

If you can possibly manage it -and space is at a premium here -try to fit some sound insulation in the engine compartment, as the boat is noisy below underway with any of the diesels.

Since the prop installation is exposed, the boat could benefit from a folding or feathering prop. Since we have experienced a slight loss in speed and power with most folding proprs, don’t do it unless you have one of the larger engines. As a rule, we prefer the feathering Max-prop to a folding prop because it generates equal thrust in both reverse and forward, unlike most folding props. Watch the tip clearance carefully, as there isn’t much room here.

If you have a 25 amp alternator and dual batteries, you should switch to a larger, 55 amp alternator. According to owners, this is a simple adaptation.

While dual batteries have always been optional, most boats are equipped with them. If yours isn’t, do it. If the batteries are in the original port side location, shift them to the starboard side, under the chart table. This will eliminate the slight port list found in some older boats.

Comfort and Convenience

Ventilation is a problem on older boats. According to many owners, the sliding port in the head leaks, and there is no provision for ventilation in bad weather. The forward-sloping bulkhead between the cockpit and the main cabin makes it impossible to leave a hatch board out in rain or heavy weather.

Opening cabintop ventilation hatches over the head and forward end of the main cabin, as found on new versions of the boat, can be easily installed on older boats.

A cockpit dodger makes it possible to leave the hatch open in bad weather but makes access to the mainsheet a problem if the hatch-mounted traveler is installed. If you don’t want a dodger, and havent led the halyards aft along the cabin trunk, cowl vents in Dorade boxes on either side of the cabintop at its aft end will provide ventilation with the main hatch shut off.

The strong taper of the sides of the companionway, coupled with the fairly narrow internal and external teak pieces which hold the drop boards, strikes us as a serious weak point. While modification of the hatch, which we feel is just too big for offshore use, may not be practical, theres no reason that the teak retainers for the drop boards can’t be made an inch wider, both inside and outside. This would mean youd have to lift the boards further to either remove them or install them, but it would also make them more secure in a knockdown.

Modifications belowdecks are as many and varied as the personalities of the owners. As a rule, most Catalina 30s from all years suffer from inadequate division of storage spaces. Vertical dividers in the galley storage spaces behind the stove would greatly increase the practicality of that storage area.

Several other galley improvements will pay dividends. While the two galley sinks help give the Catalina 30 the feel of a big boat, the outboard sink, according to owners, can flood back through the drain if the boat is well heeled on starboard tack. Wed eliminate the outboard sink, fitting a dry well for storage instead. The inboard sink probably can’t flood under most sailing conditions, so the sink drain can then be left open for use.

Owners report mediocre icebox insulation, particularly on older models. Some owners merely stuff fiberglass house insulation between the outside of the icebox and the hull, but a far more effective solution is to glue on sheet urethane.

Older boats have no insulation in the icebox lid. This can be corrected by gluing sheet urethane to the underside of the hatch, fitting as closely to the sides of the hatch as possible to still give clearance on the inside. The sheet urethane can be glassed over directly. Dont use Styrofoam -its less efficient -and don’t glass over it, if you do. It will dissolve in polyester resin. Even the insulated hatches on new versions of the boat need improved gasketing between lid and icebox to reduce heat intrusion.

The chart table has been improved on new models by making it flat, rather than angled. Angled chart tables only work when they are mounted athwartships, rather than fore and aft. Theres no reason older tables can’t be modified in the same way. While youre at it, add drop leaves to the fore and aft ends of the table to increase the working surface, and make the fiddles removable so you can use all the surface.

If the boat is to be used for any serious cruising, consider replacing the standard alcohol stove with a gas stove. CNG is offered as an option on new boats, and it will greatly increase the livability of older boats. We guarantee that the improved performance of the cook will make this a worthwhile change every time.

Your cruising will be more comfortable if you add an extra water tank under the forward cabin berth. This has become a standard option on new boats, and is an easy retrofit in older boats. Do not, however, keep this tank full for daysailing or day racing, as the weight this far forward will accentuate pitching moment.

Conclusions

The Catalina 30 comes as a fairly well equipped basic boat. However, the responses of owners indicate that a lot of customizing can significantly improve the boats function.

Because there are so many Catalina 30s in the world, it has probably been the subject of more minor modification than any other 30-footer. The changes suggested here are by no means all the modifications that owners have made. Rather, they are either the most common ones, or the ones we feel do the most to make the boat easy to sail and easy to live with.

Every boat is a compromise, from the moment it leaves the designers drawing board until the end of its life. With a lot of thought, some money, and a fair amount of thoroughly enjoyable labor, you can improve any boat. And the Catalina 30 must surely be one of the most thoroughly owner-improved boats in the history of boat-building.

Catalina 30 Review: Features, Performance and Tech Specs

7th feb 2024 by john burnham / samantha wilson.

The Catalina 30 has had a long and illustrious life and remains to this day a favorite on the used market. Over 6,400 Catalina 30s were sold during its 25-year production run starting in 1974, testament to its solid construction, functional layout, ease of sailing, a modest price, and the strong Catalina dealer network. 

So what makes it so popular? While it’s not really intended as a bluewater cruiser, the Catalina 30 handles coastal and inshore sailing with ease. It is ideal for weekends or week-long cruises thanks to its cleverly thought-out interior space. Overall, the Catalina 30 sails well, is a stable design in stiffer winds, and can be sailed single-handedly by a competent skipper. 

Despite several versions throughout its production run, including the MKII, first built in 1986, and the MKIII, in 1994, the basic dimensions of the model remained unchanged: LOA 29’11", beam 10’10", displacement 10,200 lbs., and standard draft 5’3". Likewise, the interior was never altered. Catalina’s approach to the huge success of the 30 seemed to be ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!’.

Catalina 30 Key Features 

There have been many versions of the Catalina 30 throughout its long production run, with different configurations. There have been standard and tall rigs, each with a bowsprit option, as well as shoal, wing, and deep fin keels. Following on from the MKII in 1986, the MKIII in 1994 made some noticeable changes, namely a slight widening of the hull aft, which allowed for a transom boarding platform. 

The Catalina 30’s hull, like all of Catalina’s models, is built of fiberglass and polyester resin, with a deck constructed of either balsa or plywood between fiberglass laminates. Belowdecks, the Catalina 30s layout remained unchanged throughout its life. With a wide companionway creating a spacious feel to the cabin, able to accommodate up to four with a separate head, large galley, and cozy saloon, it proved popular and user-friendly. The boat has an aft cockpit with a closed transom.  

While this model undoubtedly ticked a lot of boxes for many sailors, it had a few common problems, as described in various owners forums. Compression fatigue at the maststep on deck and in the bilge under the compression post has been commonly reported over the years and may need to be fixed. Likewise, old wooden spreaders sometimes fail, and leaks and separation may be experienced at the keel-to-hull joint. Ensuring these are all inspected in a thorough marine survey when buying will highlight any issues the boat might have.

Catalina 30 Performance

The Catalina 30 impressively straddles the line between performance and comfort, offering decent speeds compared to competitors of the same era, despite a lower sail/displacement ratio of 15.22. The fin keel version has deeper draft, lowering the center of gravity and providing better performance upwind. A higher ballast/displacement ratio means the Catalina 30 stands up well in stronger winds. 

Catalina 30 Why Buy It

The Original Sailing Mini-Van

By Bert W. Quay, A.M.S. ©1993

The Catalina 30 was designed to  take the family to a weekend of gunkhole cruising. It is built to a budget price that falls well below the cost of offshore toughness. Nobody ever said they were pretty, fancy, fast, stylish, indestructible, finely fitted, luxurious, or high-status expensive. But they are immensely practical as a vanilla boat in the real world of occasional weekend getaways and limited leisure money, because they give you most of what you need for local cruising and a surprising amount of what you think you want.

The Catalina 30 has enjoyed a production run like no other design of its size. In 25 years, over 7,000 of them have been built. Aggressive cost-control manufacturing and that high volume combined to make Catalina Yachts one of the builders who survived successive lows to become one of the dominant few in the sailboat market. The boat has evolved and improved from a short-rigged, tiller-steered version, with an Atomic-4 gas engine to today’s tall-rigged, wing-keel configurations with wheel steering and diesel power.

Used Catalina 30s are typically equipped with a main and roller furling 130% genoa, a 20-lb Danforth to fit the anchor well, dodger and/or bimini, and a basic electronics package. Newer boats may also have a propane stove, 12-volt refrigeration, a cruising spinnaker, Loran or GPS, cockpit cushions, and occasionally air conditioning. All that good sensible, usable stuff that improves the cruisability of the boat.

A Big 30-Footer! The boat feels big, both on deck and down below. The first impression of space from the double-wide companionway hatch that slides open over the galley and chart table. And lets the cooking heat escape on southern evenings as the breeze lays down.

Skippers over 6-feet tall often have problems finding full headroom afloat. The Catalina gives you 6’3″ height, with bunk lengths to match. And there is walking around room as well, which is very difficult at 30 feet. The open quarter berth gives the interior a feeling of length that is missing on boats that are chopped into small cabins. The head is large enough to shower, sit down, or change clothes in, all without getting stuck or bruised up. If you choose or have to, you can turn the boat into a bunkhouse for the kids or guests, with a vee-berth double, a dinette double, and a double quarter berth. While spaciousness is not a sailing characteristic, it is a highly valued cruising feature. And one that alone has sold a lot of Catalina 30s, especially to the wives.

For the skipper who has to have the latest in electronic navigation gadgets, the chart table concentrates the batteries, 12v DC and 120v AC panels, and nav instruments in one location conveniently near the companionway. The older models usually need additional 120v AC breakers for the charger and receptacle circuits, plus a GFI receptacle to bring their electrical system up to date.

The galley is surprisingly efficient by anyone’s standards. It is a deep U-shape to port, out of traffic flow to he cockpit and secure in a seaway (although most cruisers will not cook until the anchor is down). The counter, sink, and storage space is excellent. So the cook has some chance of turning out a decent meal there, rather than being limited to heating a can of soup or stew. The wide hatch vents cooking heat in the dog days and keeps things brighter on rainy days under the dodger.

Some Critical Details It seems that today’s skipper doesn’t feel in command of a real sailing vessel unless it has a wheel to stand behind. So of course, pedestal steering is standard on the Catalina 30. The fiberglass shell over the foam-cored rudder blade is fairly fragile at the joint where the two halves meet. And if the rubber hose section that cushions the quadrant stop compresses from the wheel being put hard over a lot, the top leading edge of the rudder shell can fracture against the skeg.

A lot of folks are convinced that they can’t leave the cockpit to handle sails. So of course, the Catalina 30 is now standard with the halyards led aft on the cabin top. There is little logic to leading the halyards aft to where the dodger keeps you from cranking the winch handle, but I’m not going to swim against the popular, city-based stream on that issue here.

The mast is a big section that rests on the cabin top. The compression loads are taken by a teak post seated on the hull pan. There is a glassed-in plywood web frame under the pan to carry the loading on down to the hull bottom. The main chain plates are bolted through the bulkheads, with the forward lowers in a partial bulkhead, and the aft lowers through an aluminum channel under the deck head. Under normal weekend use, there is little problem with this arrangement.

The engine sits under the galley counter and the “L” of the dinette settee, where there is good access to 3 sides and the top. Access to the shaft packing gland under a lift section of the galley sole is exceptionally good. Most of the boats were fitted with a Universal diesel, which has gone from a 12 horsepower, 2-cylinder model to the 3-cylinder, 22-horsepower engine. That progression was obviously made because the smaller engines weren’t enough in headwinds and current.

The bolt-on equipment such as pumps, tanks, stove, water closet, sinks, hatches, winches, blocks, and cleats, are all good, name-brands.

The Catalina 30 was not intended to be abused for long periods of time either in heavy seas or hard aground. And it doesn’t pretend to be a race boat. Aside from a greater than average number of air-entrapment voids in the deck, the boat doesn’t seem to suffer from any deficiencies that aren’t also seen on most other boats. The Catalina is the norm for blistering, water penetration in the rudder, deck leaks, and cracked rigging swages. Nothing especially alarming or unusual. Just about average.

The Bottom Line If you seek security in knowing that your vessel was meant to survive the ultimate storm or grounding, then the Catalina 30 is not for you. But, if like the average skipper, you’d like to have some easy cruising on an occasional weekend with the family, then the Catalina’s big galley, big salon table, big bunks, big head, and big cockpit all add up to a boat with more of what you want than you ever thought possible at a 30-foot price.

The boat is an excellent family entry-level choice. Demand for the boat is very strong for the very reasons that you are interested. The boats turn very quickly at fairly stable prices. So when you buy one, you can be able to come out of it in three or four years with your finances still intact.

All About Your Catalina 30

These are the specifications provided by the designers, but even from the factory, these boats may not be identical. The reason for this is that the sail industry often contracts manufacturing to different sources in order to achieve economies of scale. What this means is – your Catalina 30 may be more unique than you initially thought.

It’s important to note that boats are also frequently customized, so if you suspect that work has been done on yours, it’s best to take your own measurements. When ordering a sail, we will advise you if using the manufacturer’s specifications is appropriate, or if we require you to complete our own measurement forms.

I: 41.00 ft / 12.50 m

J: 11.50 ft / 3.51 m

P: 35.00 ft / 10.67 m

E: 11.50 ft / 3.51 m

interior height of Catalina 30

• Thread starter jack7382
• Start date Jan 15, 2008
• Catalina Owner Forums
• Mid-Size Boats

Hi, I am looking at getting a Catalina 30 and I am interested in the interior height as I am 6ft3in tall, and do not want to stoop all the time inside. Any help would be great.Thanks  

6'2" Sorry, you're gonna be ducking a lot. 6'2" headroom  

darn thanks John  

different years... I have a 1992 MKII and I am 6'1". I can hit my head in the area just approaching the v-berth...I don't have problems in any other areas. I believe earlier models may have more headroom given a lower cabin sole or curved sole. Maybe some owners of older models can chime in.  

A 350 has lots of headroom... ....if you can afford one. I think you would be comfortable. Still if you own a 22 now a 30 would be quite a step up. You will find it hard to get as much space as is offered in a Catalina 30. I owned an 86 for a while and now have a catalina 36. Headroom is about the same.  

I am 6'3 also The C-30 is about as good as it is going to get. I am very comfortable in and around my C-30. But they just don't make any tall people boats. I can sleep in the forward berth with out having my feet hang out and that is about as good as that is going to get also. A C-30 is much bigger inside than other 30' boats.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Same hull and rig as the earlier version introduced in 1982 but with a larger cockpit and updated deck and interior. (Replaced with the CATALINA 375 in 2008)

Also available with a shallower draft wing keel and tall rig. Wing keel draft: 4.52’/1.38m. Dimensions for tall rig: I: 46.75’/14.25m J: 14.33’/4.37m P: 41.0’/12.5m E: 13.0’/3.96m
