Currently located in the Gippsland Lakes, Victoria, "Wings" was launched in 2008 and is in excellent condition.
The Catalina 309 is a beautifully finished, spacious and easily sailed yacht. Just under 10 m in length with 2 private double cabins, additional saloon berths, fully enclosed head and shower, saloon space, galley and chart table. The 309 shares a long list of big boat features and quality including good tank capacities, electric anchor winch, large refrigeration, big cockpit storage, in-mast furling, hot and cold pressure water, good standing head room in the modern and bright cabin and the transom becomes walk-through to a swim platform and folding ladder when the helm seat is removed.
"Wings" includes a Raymarine instrument package with auto-pilot and 2 colour chart plotters, VHF, AIS Transponder, Victron Solar panel and Charger, Fusion stereo, TV, an upgraded Force 10 stove and oven, and folding 3 blade prop. Since my purchase in 2020 the rudder bearings and prop shaft dripless seal have been replaced, and a new bimini fitted. Antifouled, hull polished/waxed, prop speed applied, and new prop anode in September 2025, Yanmar diesel serviced a few (motor) hours ago (motors has 436 hours on it as at listing). Standing rigging replaced 2018, new Hood Main and Genoa 2017.
"Wings" has the low draft winged keel, and is a delight to sail, with the in mast furling main sail removing the heavy work of mainsail hoisting. The boom is well above head height for safety, and the bimini protects from the sun.
I have the original detailed pre purchase Survey from 2020, plus her Insurance Survey completed in September 2024.
The replacement model 316, if available, is over $A450K, "Wings" is here now, ready to go, and a fraction of that price.
You'll find plenty of videos of the Catalina 309 on Youtube. Search "Catalina 309 Wings" for a great video of "Wings" by the Broker I bought her through back in 2020.
