The Catalina 30 is a series of American sailboats, that were designed by Frank Butler and later by Gerry Douglas.
The boat was built by Catalina Yachts in the United States, but it is now out of production. During its production run from 1972 to 2008 in many versions the design sold 6,430 examples, making it one of the most successful keelboat designs ever built.
The Catalina 30 design was replaced in the company's line by the Catalina 309 in 2010.
The Catalina 30 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel.
The design was initially fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine or a Universal 5411 or Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine, but by the mid-1980s these had been replaced by the three-cylinder Universal M-25 diesel.
