The Catalina Capri 30 represents a distinct departure from the builder’s primary reputation as a manufacturer of heavy, volume-focused coastal cruisers. Launched in 1984, the Capri 30 was designed by the in-house team led by Frank Butler and Gerry Douglas to satisfy a growing demand for a performance-oriented racer-cruiser capable of competing in PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) and MORC (Midget Ocean Racing Club) circuits. While the model shares the "30" designation with its more famous sibling, the Catalina 30, it is an entirely different vessel from the waterline up. The Capri 30 features a much narrower beam relative to its length, a significantly lighter displacement, and a more aggressive sail plan, making it a "sleeper" in the second-hand market for sailors who prioritize speed over interior volume.
