2011 Catalina 309

A late model and immaculate example of these Cruising World ‘Boat of the Year’ recipients that has the space and feel of a much bigger yacht. With a hull length of 32’ 9” it actually feels even bigger with a roomy cockpit with generous seating, especially with the signature pushpit seats, and a helm pedestal with all of the engine controls and gauges, as well as Autopilot, Tridata, Wind and a Hybrid eS7 plotter.

Handling the yacht is easy with a Doyle in-mast furling mainsail and furling headsail and four self-tailing winches. While the shoal-draft 1.32m winged keel offers access to areas many yachts can't get to, while maintaining good sailing performance.

Down below the yacht is simply stunning. A very spacious saloon with seating to both sides and a saloon table that bi-folds out to give generous dining room. The galley is well appointed and has a domestic style Waeco front loading fridge, as well as a top loading icebox.

The aft cabin has a large opening hatch aft for light and ventilation and good space, the v-berth is full size, and the saloon dinette is easily converted into an additional double.

This really is an extremely well cared for low usage yacht that is in simply superb condition. It has every option you could want for comfortable weekends away and coastal cruising. Well worth viewing if you are in the market for a mid-30 foot cruising yacht as it really does feel that size!
