Overview

IDEAL SAILBOAT FOR THE PANHANDLE OF FL

Serenity is a well maintained shoal draft example of the popular and spacious 310.  With two private staterooms, a proper L-shaped galley, and a massive cockpit, it is truly amazing how much living space these boats offer.  

The Catalina 310 is known for its ease of handling, making it a joy to sail in most any condition.  These designs were extremely popular, with over 300 built between 1999 and 2008. 

Gerry Douglas from Catalina described the design as a drink eight, feed four, sleep two boat, and I completely agree! 

Highlights Include:

• 46'5" Mast Height-  Perfect for getting under the Destin Pass Bridge 
• Wing Keel w/ 4'6" Draft 
• Universal M25XP Diesel with 409 hours
• Mermaid 11,000 BTU Air Conditioning 
• 400 AMP Hours Hour Bank + Starting Battery
• Top and Side Loading 12V/110V Refrigeration

• In Mast Furling Main-  (NEW Mainsail 2016)

Descriptions

According to Gerry Douglas, vice president and chief designer at Catalina: "The design started with the 320. She has a fine forward entry, flat aft section, and narrow waterline beam. She's rounded amidships to provide weight for load carrying without changing the trim."

Catalina's intent to make this boat a generous cruiser for two people, not a cramped cruiser for four. The forward stateroom is bigger and the berth easier to access than the others. The trade-off is that the aft sleeping area is wide open, enclosed by a curtain.

"We think it's a radical departure from most small boats. We wanted a small boat with big-boat feeling, like our 38 without all of the extra furniture," Douglas says. "It's not worth trying to enclose the aft area because that would shorten the saloon. This is a 'drink eight, feed four, sleep two boat,' with a long cockpit for sleeping outdoors."

It's this kind of definitive builder's statement that serves boatbuyers.  Prospective owners know immediately whether this boat will work for them, at least in its overall purpose. It's a much better approach than one that promises everything vaguely.
