The Catalina 276 Sport is designed for sailors who desire a nimble and efficient vessel without the need for a larger boat. It features a modern, extended waterline and a modest beam, making it easily trailerable. The deck is designed for easy movement, with a single shroud point allowing convenient access to the foredeck. The interior provides ample space for overnight stays, accommodating occasional trips with family or friends.
Notable features include a new Selden mast and rigging for weight savings aloft, a custom Catalina/Mars shoal draft lead keel with a low-drag “Cruising Bulb” design, and a mainsheet system that allows trimming from both port and starboard sides of the cabin top. These design elements make the 276 Sport a versatile choice for both day sailing and the occasional overnight adventure.
