The Catalina 276 Sport (frequently identified in production records as the 275 Sport) represents a modern departure for a builder traditionally known for heavy, voluminous cruising yachts. Designed by Gerry Douglas to capture the growing "performance daysailer" market, this model prioritizes ease of use, aesthetic appeal, and spirited sailing over the accommodationheavy philosophy of its predecessors, the Catalina 27 and 270. While the "Sport" designation suggests a racing pedigree, the vessel is more accurately described as a versatile weekender designed for sailors who want to get on the water quickly without the complexity of a larger yacht. Built with a lean, modern hull form and a narrow beam compared to its cruising cousins, the boat features a striking plumb bow and a powerful, highaspect rig that aligns with the contemporary "Sport Series" aesthetic also seen in its smaller sibling, the Catalina 22 Sport.
