NEW LISTING! 2005 Catalina 320 "Decompression"
"Decompression" has been well-maintained and cared for by just three owners since 2005. As her excellent condition demonstrates, she was kept on a freshwater lake in South Carolina until 2013. Since then, "Decompression" has been enjoyed by two separate owners on the freshwater portion of the St. Johns River in Florida. This Catalina 320 is phenomenally spacious and comfortable for a 32-footer, and she is well-equipped and ready for her next adventures.
These 320's are extremely popular sailboats, and this one won't stay on the market long! Catalina has done an amazing job integrating so many of the features that sailors want the most. For a 32-foot vessel, the Catalina 320's have spacious, well-designed cockpits and saloons that are, not only comfortable for cruising couples or families, but also for entertaining and having guests over to share a meal or an extended stay. The cockpit has two stern rail seats with integrated stainless steel cupholders, seating for 5 or 6 people, large foldout table for dining al fresco in a beautiful anchorage. This vessel also has a great sail handling system for the single- or short-handed sailor and all sheets, halyards, and main winches are within reach of the helm.
As you descend the companionway ladder, the highly functional galley is located to port in a modified U-shaped layout. There is ample countertop work space with huge Adler-Barber refrigerator with separate freezer section, large double stainless steel sink with custom cutting board, and 2-burner gimballed propane oven. Across from the galley to starboard is the private aft cabin, which is set up very nicely with a bench seat, upgraded queen-sized custom mattress, hanging locker, large shaded overhead vent, and opening portlight. Moving forward on the starboard side is the head and shower compartment accessible from the saloon and equipped with 2017 electric head and opening port. Entering the spacious main saloon area, the navigation station is to the port and features small table, VHF radio, stereo controllers, 110-volt and anchor windlass breaker switches, 12-volt breaker panel, air conditioning and heating control panel (which is very unusual for a boat of this size!). There's a lovely flow in the saloon, warm hues from the curved wood trim, a beautiful, curving teak dining table that maximizes space while not blocking access to the forward cabin. The dining table drops to down to create a comfortable full berth for guests. The saloon has another hanging locker for storage. The bow cabin also features a custom, full-size, inner-spring mattress and custom sheets. This 320 is a remarkable vessel, very clean, and marked throughout with the Catalina attention to detail and the love of her previous owners. Come have a look today!

The 320 redefines the qualities that have made the 320 a favorite of racing and cruising sailors worldwide. Over a thousand 320''s sailing and an active Owners Association provided a wealth of experience to make a great boat the best in her class.
The Catalina 320 is a contemporary design that successfully combines the best modern features and construction with Catalina''s hallmark comfort and value.
Based on a high performance and high volume hull design, the 320 is light on the helm, and tracks well under sailor power. Motion and heeling are gentle and predictable. The 320 performs well in a variety of conditions, with either of the available wing or fin keels.
Racing skippers will enjoy the turn of speed and cruisers will appreciate the additional distance covered in a day''s passage.
Carrying the deck beam well aft created space for an exceptionally large cockpit that will accommodate an optional fiberglass cockpit table. The wide coamings and ergonomically correct seats and backs are important features considering the cockpit is where most time aboard is spent.
The weather decks are wide with molded-in nonskid and bulwarks, giving easy, sure access to the foredeck and the standard electric anchor windlass.
Other important quality features of the deck include the stout aluminum framed opening deck hatches and ball bearing mainsheet traveler system with single side controls.
The rigging and spar systems are engineered for performance and durability. The fore and aft lowers with intermediate and upper shrouds make the rig offshore capable and easy to keep in tune. A rigid adjustable boom vang is standard.
Speed and cockpit space didn''t mean compromise in accommodations. The unique interior is beautifully finished in a rich combination of teak and hardwoods complementing the beige textured fiberglass overhead and full hull liner. Your choice of several quality upholstery fabrics will create a very inviting atmosphere.
Attention to details like the custom solid surface galley counters with integral backsplashes, halogen lighting, and a cedar paneled hanging locker set the 320 apart from the ordinary.
Of particular note are details in the plumbing and electrical systems, which have been
designed for easy access to facilitate owner maintenance and service.
The engine installation is fully accessible by removing the fore and aft insulated covers.
Related filters and valves are in a mechanical locker aft of the engine and are logically arranged.
Inspect the 320 and you will appreciate the quality, design and value that have made the Catalina 320 the choice of knowledgeable sailors worldwide.
