"Got Wind?"  - 30 foot Catalina

The Catalina 30 is probably the best selling sailboat in America. Her legend dates back to the first hull which rolled off the production line in 1975 and is still built to this day!

Unlike most 30 foot sailboats, the Catalina is BIG! She has a larger cockpit with more than enough room to seat 6 passengers comfortably. Down below she is very roomy with a double aft berth as well as a double berth forward. Even her galley is larger with twin sinks and a stove.

Got Wind? is fast with a huge headsail - 160% Genoa and a leech battened mainsail.

Oh, NO! The camera is heading straight for us!

There she goes making over 6 kts even while towing a dinghy!

Her cockpit is large with comfortable cushions.

Got Wind? is equipped with an autopilot, GPS chartplotter and VHF/loud hailer all operable from behind the wheel.

Got Wind? has stern perch rail seats - best seat in the house while sailing!

Down below, she is well appointed with seating for 6 in comfort. The extra foot of beam makes a big difference to the roominess below. The table drops to convert into a double berth, or can be folded up for more room to walk around.

Got Wind? has a full galley with double sinks and 2 burner alcohol stove.

She has a Pioneer 200 watt sound system with speakers below as well as in the cockpit. She also has a 1000 watt inverter for using 120v small appliances.

The aft berth is a full three quarter and can sleep two people in comfort.

Forward is the V-berth large enough for 2 people to sleep with a opening hatch above for fresh air.

The head is equipped with hot and cold running water. The faucet converts to a shower.

Safety and Electronics

Got Wind? is equipped with throwables, 8 professional off shore life vests, latest technology VHF radio with wireless remote for use in the cockpit as well as a handheld VHF. She has a load hailer and fog horn.

She has a state-of-the-art chartplotter for navigation and 12x50 binoculars are always on board. She also has a modern autopilot so the captain can take a break if no one else wants to steer.

Her primary anchor is a 23 lb Danforth and a FX-7 Fortress as the lunch hook.

She has comfortable cockpit cushions as well as sun mats up on deck.
