2005 Catalina 320 For Sale

This is a beautifully upgraded 2005 Catalina 320 Fin sitting on Flathead Lake in Montana. It is a wonderful cruising or racing sailboat and you will likely agree that it beats the competition in comfort and convenience. It has a deep fin keel with a draft of 6 feet 3 inches, so upwind and in a blow it outpoints, outsails, and is more stable than similar shoal draft Catalinas.

It is outfitted with fairly new and little-used Doyle sails that include a stack pack main with full battens and a 142% furling genoa. There is a new Gori three-blade folding propeller with overdrive that adds 20% more speed in forward and a Garmin color chart plotter C172 with GPS and west coast maps. Other items include Raymarine ST60 instruments with a knotmeter, depth gauge, wind direction, and a recently installed Raymarine ST4000 autopilot.

The galley features a 2-burner propane stove with oven, a huge super-cold freezer and refrigerator, and Corian countertops. The galley is supplemented with a large Magma propane grill on deck.

There is a Sony stereo with four Bose indoor/outdoor speakers, 6" mattresses in the captain's quarters and the V-berth. It sleeps 6. There is a stainless NicoFico solar exhaust vent in the head, a new Jabsco elongated toilet, a hot and cold shower, and a new handheld hot and cold sprayer on the stern.

The engine is a professionally-maintained Yanmar 3 cylinder 29 hp 3YM30 diesel motor with power provided with two recent 4D lead batteries. There is a 40-watt rigid solar panel, and one 110-watt flexible solar panel. That's a total of 150 watts of solar with a solar information panel in the main salon. Solar power will keep the refrigerator cold and operate electronics indefinitely in summer months and keep the batteries charged all winter. Many spare parts and filters are also included.

The cockpit sports an updated dodger and bimini cover and updated like new marine blue cockpit cushions. On deck you will find a 28 pound white powder coated Danforth anchor with 15' of chain and 150' of braided Samson line; one 13 pound stern anchor with 100' of line; a tri-radial spinnaker with a 12' pole, a Maxwell 500 electric windless, and a huge swim step and ladder.

This sailboat was only used in the summer for two to three months every year in NW Montana for the last nine years due to Flathead lake changing elevations in the Spring and Fall. Great boat for NW cruising or racing.
