2001 Catalina 320

Bob Perry 2003 review: "I am always amazed at the quality of design and tooling that goes into new Catalina models. They are great boats in a very affordable package. The in-house design group at Catalina, headed by Frank Butler, is able to incorporate everything you could want in a family cruising boat. New Catalina models are examples of extensive research and mock-up work, such as the Catalina 320.
The hull shape is fairly moderate in all aspects, although beam (11'-9") has been exaggerated and pushed aft as with a lot of the French boats we see. This is done to increase cockpit area and usable interior space.". "But note the size and location of the double berth aft; there is the advantage of beam. 
This is quite a layout for a boat that is only 32 feet, 6 inches long. Of course, it has the beam of a 38-footer. All the interior components look big. The cleverest aspect of this layout is the way the head and aft cabin have been positioned so that there is comfortable access to the aft cabin with its huge berth. If I had a criticism it would be that there are lots of shelves for books and plants in the main cabin but few real lockers. The galley looks well laid out, and with the forward leg splayed out slightly, it optimizes egress. Two couples could be very comfortable on this boat. 
Aesthetically I give the Catalina designers high marks. This is a very good-looking boat." "Catalina endures by giving its clients beautifully designed, affordable boats. Don't take my word for it. Just take a close look at a new Catalina at your next boat show."
THE HULL IS SOLID FIBERGLASS HAND LAMINATED AND PROTECTED UNDERWATER WITH BLISTER RESISTANT GELCOAT.
