Design
The Catalina 310 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. It displaces 10,300 lb (4,672 kg) and carries 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) of ballast.[1]
The design has a draft of 5.75 ft (1.75 m) with the standard fin keel fitted and 4.83 ft (1.47 m) with the optional shoal draft wing keel.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3GM30F diesel engine of 27 hp (20 kW). The fuel tank holds 27 U.S. gallons (100 L; 22 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 35 U.S. gallons (130 L; 29 imp gal).[1]
The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 171 with a high of 181 and low of 165. It has a hull speed of 6.9 kn (12.78 km/h).[5]

At its introduction, at the February 1999 Atlantic City Boat Show, it was named Cruising World Magazine’s Pocket Cruiser Boat of the Year.[3]
In February 2000, the design was named to Sail Magazine's Top 10 sailboats for 2000 list.[3]
