This vessel is an outstanding example of a well maintained and cared for Catalina 309. She is easy to handle, has roomy accommodations and is winged keeled shoal draft.The Gerry Douglas designed vessel received Cruising World’s “Domestic Boat of the Year” award.
Some of the outstanding features of the 309 are the aft cabin, on the starboard side, where a double berth fits under the cockpit. To port, the galley has plenty of counter space and storage, with an under the counter refrigeration unit. Opposite the galley is an aft-facing chart table served by the end of the starboard settee. The switch panel is mounted on the outboard partition, with space above it and on the aft-cabin bulkhead for other electronics.
Forward, the V-berth expands to a double with a filler panel, and just aft and to port is a nice sized head. On the starboard side, a low hanging locker topped with a broad, fiddled shelf adds to the saloon’s openness. In the saloon, the center of the starboard settee’s backrest flips down for a handy table. The dining table is to port, next to the L-shaped settee. A large, hinged table leaf opens to meet the starboard settee. The engine is under a removable box that is part of the companionway steps. All in all this is a well thought and roomy 31 footer that Catalina and Gerry Douglas designed.
