Used Catalina 320 Sailboats for Sale

The Catalina 320 represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of American mid-sized cruising yachts. Launched in 1993 and designed by the prolific Gerry Douglas, the 320 was not merely a successor to the legendary Catalina 30, but a clean-sheet design that embraced modern hull geometries and performance-oriented underbody profiles. While the Catalina 30 relied on a traditional, narrower beam and heavy displacement, the 320 introduced a wide, powerful stern and a significantly longer waterline relative to its overall length. This design shift allowed Catalina to offer a boat that felt considerably larger than its 32-foot designation, providing a platform that could comfortably accommodate a family for coastal cruising while maintaining a turn of speed that surprised many long-time brand loyalists. The model enjoyed a long and successful production run, eventually evolving into the Mark II version in the late 1990s, which refined the cockpit ergonomics and interior finish.
