The Catalina Catamaran is an American catamaran sailboat that was designed by W. D. Schock Corp's in-house designer, Seymour Paul, as a racer and day sailer, It was first built in 1960.[1][2][3][4]

Production[edit]

The design was built by W. D. Schock Corp in the United States, from 1960 until 1964, with a total of 54 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6][7]

Design[edit]

The Catalina Catamaran is a recreational sailing dinghy, with the hulls built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig. The hulls have raked stems, plumb transoms, with twin transom-hung rudders controlled by a single tiller. Each hull has a retractable centerboard. The boat displaces 565 lb (256 kg).[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 2.00 ft (0.61 m) with a centerboard extended and 0.80 ft (0.24 m) with both retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][2]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1][2]
