Catalina 30
One of the most popular boats ever built with over 6000 sold is, the Catalina 30 and for good reason. Sailing one is a lesson in simplicity. They offer reasonable speed and stability can sleep 6 people at a pinch and have the one of, if not the, largest interior volume available on a 30 footer. Coupled with plenty of storage space, enclosed heads, spacious cockpit, sensible 1.60m draft and around 190cm of headroom it's no surprise so many people purchased one. 'Isabella' is hull number 2,851 and is very well maintained throughout. A few years back she had her diesel upgraded to a new 3 cylinder 25hp Westerbeke with now just over 1,00hrs and last year (2025) new rigging and chain plates were installed then in December she received new antifoul, anodes and Propspeed. For those looking for a compact yet spacious yacht with all the big ticket items updated and ready to, then this Catalina 30 should be on your shopping list. Located on her berth across from our office here on Manly Harbour, you can call Australiawide Boat Sales Manly Qld, to arrange an inspection..
