Catalina 445

• By Mark Pillsbury
• Updated: December 1, 2009

After spending the last few seasons replacing tried-and-true models in the Catalina line, designer Gerry Douglas headed in an entirely new direction when he sat down to draw the lines for the new Catalina 445, a twin-helm, sporty-looking sailboat that will claim a place of its own in the company’s Ocean Series, between the 440 and 470.

I say sporty because the 445 is a bit narrower (with a beam of 13 feet 7 inches) than its Catalina cousins, and the cabin top has a low profile and is sleek, tapering off to meet the foredeck ahead of the Seldén slightly fractional (at 19/20ths) mast. And hull number one, the boat I test-sailed on San Francisco Bay, was fitted out with a removable bowsprit that let us power up in the uncharacteristically light-air conditions with a code zero headsail. When the wind picked up late in the afternoon, we easily furled the A sail on its flexible furler, set the 135-percent working genoa, and reached along the city’s waterfront and out toward the Golden Gate Bridge.

In breezes that ranged from single digits to the high teens, the boat moved along quite well. Like other recent Catalinas, the 445 has the sail area it needs when the waves are still ripples. With a breeze in the 10-knot range, we made about 5.5 knots over the ground and tacked through angles that hinted at the 445’s P.H.R.F. racing potential. When the breeze builds, the roller-furling main with vertical battens and the genoa can be reduced accordingly, though I found that even in the late-day gusts, the 445 stood up well to its full sail plan.

Douglas, in fact, designed his latest cruising boat with the occasional racer or performance-interested skipper in mind. The laminate schedule used to lay up the hull-solid glass to the waterline, and balsa-cored above and in the deck-was beefed up, and longitudinal aluminum stiffeners were added halfway up each side of the hull to create a structure that would be up to the demands of offshore racing-or bluewater voyaging.

Catalina is a company that listens to its customers, and Douglas says that the message he heard from owners was that most couples who want a 40-something footer don’t often need three cabins but could use more storage. Forward, the owner’s roomy stateroom features a queen-size bed-the bed’s forward end can be tilted up with an electric motor for reading-and its own head and shower.

Aft, to starboard, is a second large cabin, this one fit out with a diagonally situated double. This cabin shares its head and shower with the saloon. Both fore and aft heads connect to gravity-drain holding tanks with a combined 54 gallons of capacity. Located on opposite sides of the boat, both face inward, ensuring that there’ll be a place to go on either tack.

Aft and to port of the companionway is a smaller cabin that can be set up to meet an owner’s needs at the time: as a sleeping quarter for friends or kids or, with the berth folded up, a storage space or workshop. Access to this cabin is through a door aft of the galley and also from above, through the cockpit settee.

The L-shaped galley sports a three-burner propane stove and oven, Isotherm refrigeration, and a number of amenities that a cook will appreciate, including storage for a set of Calphalon pots, an idea that Douglas’ wife came up with to prevent rattling.

Teak laminates and solid teak trim are found throughout. In the saloon, a portside U-shaped couch surrounds a table that can be lowered to create another double berth. Opposite, chairs sit to either side of a small table that can also be lowered to form a berth or settee. Just aft is the nav station, with room for paper charts and a dedicated place to set a laptop.

Comfortable as the interior was, on the day we went sailing I spent most of my time topside, enjoying the ride. There’s ample room at the twin wheels for the helmsman to get comfortable, and visibility as far as sails and telltales are concerned is excellent. On the boat we sailed, the optional wood cockpit tabletop added a bit of flare to the easy-to-maintain fiberglass topside, and the built-in cooler beneath it will be welcomed on a hot day. All sail-control lines lead aft from the mast to winches near the companionway, as they do on all Catalinas. My one gripe is that the mainsheet leads there, too, meaning that you have to leave the wheel to trim it. That said, with an autopilot and easy-to-negotiate cockpit, the job is doable.

The 445 is powered by a 54-horsepower Yanmar and a conventional shaft and prop. Leaving the dock and while under way, the boat responded quickly under power, and noise levels below seemed within reason. Engine access is excellent, thanks to an engine box that can be moved out of the way, and I liked they way the filters were grouped together in a small closet.

The 445 comes with either a fin or a wing keel, both made of lead, which isn’t always the norm on a price-conscious production boat. Fitted out in the fashion of hull number one, the new 445 carries a price tag of about $315,000; the base price is about $30,000 less for a boat delivered to the East Coast.

Because our test sail doubled as a photo shoot for the just-launched boat, I got to spend a lot more time sailing the 445 than I normally would. I found lots of comfortable places to while away the afternoon and appreciated the boat’s ability to handle changing conditions of wind and sea state. Simply put, as a sometimes racer or an all-the-time cruiser, the new boat from Catalina is one that you’ll enjoy spending time aboard. And that’s the whole idea, isn’t it?

read more about these Key Performance Indicators...

Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Catalina 445

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 16.8 suggests that the Catalina 445 will, in the right conditions, approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of most cruising sailors.

2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 30.6 would usually mean that the Catalina 445 would have a tendency to heel uncomfortably in a gust, and need to be reefed early to keep her sailing upright in a moderate breeze.

However, as she has much of her ballast concentrated in a bulb at the foot of her keel, she's likely to be considerably stiffer than her published Ballast/Displacement Ratio might suggest.

3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 186, tells us the Catalina 445 is clearly a light displacement sailboat. If she's loaded with too much heavy cruising gear her performance will suffer to a degree.

4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 28.0 suggests that crew comfort of a Catalina 445 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability, which is not encouraging news for anyone prone to seasickness. 

5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.9 indicates that a Catalina 445 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0. 

The Catalina 445: A Versatile and Comfortable Sailboat

The Catalina 445 is a 44-foot fractional sloop that was launched in 2009 by Catalina Yachts. The boat has a spacious cockpit with twin helm stations and a cockpit table that seats 4-6 people. The deck is finished with a traditional diamond-patterned non-skid surface. The interior is bright and airy, with large windows and hatches that provide natural light and ventilation. The boat has three cabins and two heads, with an innovative flexible cabin on the port side that can be converted to suit your needs. The galley has ample storage and features for extended cruising.

The Catalina 445 is designed to be easy to sail and handle, with a balanced rudder, a fin keel with a lead bulb, and a masthead sloop rig with swept-back spreaders. The boat has a standard sail area of 856 square feet with a 100% foretriangle, which can be increased to 1002 square feet with a standard 135% genoa. The boat also has an optional in-mast furling system for the mainsail. The boat is powered by a Yanmar 57 HP diesel engine with a three-bladed propeller.

The Catalina 445 has won several awards and accolades since its debut, including the Cruising World Boat of the Year in 2010 for the Best Full-Size Cruiser category, and the Sail Magazine Best Boats in 2010 for the Flagship Monohull category.

Accommodation The Catalina 445 has a three-cabin layout that can accommodate up to seven people comfortably. The owner's cabin is forward, with a large centerline double berth, a hanging locker, a vanity desk, and private access to the forward head. The forward head has an electric toilet and a separate shower stall.

The guest cabin is aft on the starboard side, with another large double berth that is angled for easy access and greater headroom. The aft head is adjacent to the guest cabin, and can also be accessed from the saloon. The aft head has a manual toilet and a shower.

The third cabin is on the port side, aft of the galley. This cabin is a flexible space that can be configured as a sleeping quarters with upper and lower berths, a storage room with shelves and drawers, or a work room with a bench and tools. This cabin also has a large opening hatch for ventilation.

The saloon is spacious and inviting, with an L-shaped settee on the starboard side that can seat six people around a folding table. The table can also be lowered to create an additional double berth if needed. On the port side of the saloon, there is a navigation station with a chart table and an electrical panel. There is also a flat-screen TV mounted on the bulkhead above the nav station.

The galley is on the port side of the companionway, opposite the aft head. It has a U-shaped design that provides plenty of counter space and storage. The galley is equipped with a three-burner stove with oven, a microwave, a double stainless steel sink, a top-loading refrigerator, a front-loading freezer, and a trash bin.

The interior of the Catalina 445 is finished with teak veneer and solid teak trim, with a satin varnish. The upholstery is available in several colors and fabrics, including leather. The cabin sole is made of teak and holly laminate. The interior lighting is LED, with dimmers and red night lights.

Hull and Deck The hull of the Catalina 445 is made of fiberglass with end-grain balsa core sandwich construction above the waterline, and a vinylester integral barrier to resist osmosis blistering. The hull has a white gelcoat finish with a blue boot stripe and a blue sheer stripe. The hull also has a rub rail with a stainless steel striker.

The deck of the Catalina 445 is also made of fiberglass with end-grain balsa core sandwich construction, and has a molded-in diamond pattern non-skid surface in two-tone white and grey. The deck has a low-profile cabin structure that blends with the hull shape and enhances the visibility from the cockpit. The deck also has stainless steel handrails, lifelines, stanchions, cleats, and chocks.

The cockpit of the Catalina 445 is large and comfortable, with twin helm stations that provide good visibility and access to the sail controls. Each helm station has a 32-inch stainless steel wheel, a single-lever engine control, an instrument pod, and a compass. The cockpit also has a folding cockpit table that seats 4-6 people, with two leaves and a storage compartment. The cockpit seats and coamings are covered with closed-cell foam cushions. The cockpit also has a stern rail with observation seats, a walk-through transom with a swim platform and a boarding ladder, a hot and cold shower, and a storage locker for the propane tanks.

The deck hardware of the Catalina 445 is high-quality and well-placed for easy handling. The boat has two primary winches on the coaming near the helm stations, two secondary winches on the cabin top near the companionway, and two more winches on the mast for halyards. All winches are self-tailing and two-speed. The boat also has two genoa tracks with cars and stoppers, two mainsheet traveler tracks with cars and stoppers, two boom vangs with blocks and tackle, two reefing lines with blocks and clutches, two topping lifts with blocks and clutches, two spinnaker halyards with blocks and clutches, two flag halyards with cleats, and one outhaul line with block and clutch.

The anchor locker of the Catalina 445 is located at the bow, and has an electric windlass with a chain wheel. The boat comes with a stainless steel plow anchor and high-test chain. The boat also has a bow roller that can accommodate a second anchor if needed.

Mast and Rigging The mast of the Catalina 445 is made of aluminum alloy, and is deck-stepped on a compression post that transfers the load to the keel structure. The mast also has an internal conduit for wiring, an anchor light, a steaming light, a deck light, and an optional masthead wind indicator.

Keel and Rudder The keel of the Catalina 445 is a fin keel with a lead bulb that provides stability and performance. The keel is attached to the hull with 316 stainless steel bolts. The boat has two keel options:

• a wing keel with a draft of 5 feet, and
• a fin keel with a draft of 6 feet 8 inches.

The wing keel has large winglets that reduce the draft and increase the lift. The fin keel has a deeper draft and a lower center of gravity for better upwind performance.

The rudder of the Catalina 445 is a balanced spade rudder that provides good steering control and maneuverability. The rudder is made of fiberglass with a stainless steel rudder post and bearings. The rudder is connected to the twin wheels by a mechanical steering system with cables and pulleys. The steering system also has an emergency tiller that can be fitted to the rudder post in case of failure.

Alternative Versions The Catalina 445 is available in different versions to suit different sailing preferences and needs:

The standard version is designed for recreational sailing, with a comfortable and spacious interior, a well-equipped galley, and a versatile rig. The standard version also has an optional in-mast furling system for the mainsail, which makes it easier to reef or stow the sail without leaving the cockpit.

The owner's version is designed for long-term cruising or liveaboard, with some modifications to the interior layout. The owner's version has a larger forward cabin with more storage space, a larger forward head with a separate shower stall, and a smaller flexible cabin on the port side that can be used as an office or a workshop.

The charter version is designed for chartering or sailing with guests, with some modifications to the interior layout. The charter version has three equal cabins with double berths, each with its own head and shower. The charter version also has a smaller galley and saloon, and more water and fuel capacity.

The performance version is designed for racing or fast cruising, with some modifications to the rig and hull. The performance version has a taller mast with more sail area, a deeper fin keel with less drag, and a lighter hull with less weight. The performance version also has an optional carbon fiber mast and boom, an optional in-boom furling system for the mainsail, and an optional bowsprit for flying asymmetric spinnakers.

Catalina 445

Catalina 445 is a 44 ′ 3 ″ / 13.5 m monohull sailboat designed by Gerry Douglas and built by Catalina Yachts starting in 2009.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Wing Keel draft: 5’/1.52m

Questions on the Catalina 445

• Add to quote

Anybody active here with direct experience on the C445? I've been looking for a boat that will take me into a semi-retirement and beyond. I can handle my C36 very easily and had been thinking that I needed to stay 38' or less to continue to singlehand for docking and spinnaker work. Never the less, some people are working toward convincing me that 44' is not that much of a problem. Given a bow thruster and all, is the boat size much of an issue? I was hoping to get a more solid boat than my Catalina 36. I know my C36 is built very strong, but the bulkheads are not tabbed in. When I'm sailing hard upwind into a 4' chop it sounds like an old wooden sailing ship, with all the bulkheads and furniture moving a bit. I've noticed the new Catalina 5 series have all bulkheads glued in place. Is that going to keep her quiet when sailing hard? My limitations on cost are not too severe. Last week I was looking at the Blue Jacket 40 but I found the aft cabin too small for those times when I sail with friends. Looking at a new Hallberg Rassy 372, but I just don't like the traveler in the cockpit. Current front runners in my thinking are Catalina 385, Catalina 445, and X Yacht Xc38. I'd considered a used Malo, but I think it might be heavy and slow. I like the 412, but I'm never going to find a used one and $650,000 is getting to be a bit much. I'll feel less irresponsible if I keep it under 500K. Any other models I should be considering? Thanks, GJ  

She hasn't been around in a while but SNer Merlna moved up to a C445 last year. Here's her thread on the boat: http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/101286-our-new-boat.html  

I don't know what kind of sailing you like to do, how many people you routinely carry, etc., etc., but if you like your 36 and it serves your needs, the 385 will give you the build quality of the 445 in a more manageable & familiar package. That said, I've got a Catalina 50 that's set up very well for shorthanded sailing and think that the 445 would be very similar in feel and performance. My setup includes: 1. all lines led back to the cockpit 2. main on Harken battcars with a stack pack (you can go in-mast, but I don't like it) 3. a good jib furler, properly installed 4. electric halyard winch (helpful in a pinch and great for going up the mast) 5. a good autopilot (don't cheap out on this one) 6. a good windlass 7. a powerful bow thruster with wireless remote if you want to dock singlehanded If you do go big, it's very important that you go with high-grade running rigging to get as much friction and stretch out of sail handling as possible. Vectran halyards, oversized ball bearing mast base turning blocks, large deck organizers, oversized winches, etc. are all helpful and will allow you to manage larger sails with the same effort. I also find that it's easier to shorthand a boat that's less tender, so I'd go with deep draft over shoal if at all possible. Mine's a piece of cake to sail with two people and with the exception of docking, I can singlehand it for just about everything else. If/when I get the thruster remote I think I'll be able to manage solo docking as well. Underway, the boat is so big and stable that I find it's much less stressful and risky to go forward on deck in bigger seas than on my old 31'. A 45 or 50 foot boat can be a handful but having all that waterline length is a lot like having a car with a big V8. You don't always use its full capabilities and it can be demanding but when conditions allow, it gets up and goes like nothing else.  

IStream said: I don't know what kind of sailing you like to do, how many people you routinely carry, etc., etc., but if you like your 36 and it serves your needs, the 385 will give you the build quality of the 445 in a more manageable & familiar package. ...[much deleted]...

Check out http://www.mrcocktailsailing.com This is my 2011 445, Hull #41. The Equipment Specifications are listed on the Site. Overall, I have been thrilled with my Boat. With this being said, it is clearly, having toured some more recent Boats, that they've learned from the earlier Design. Those things that frustrate me to no end, seem to have been addressed, in the more recent Boats.  

Don't have any experience on the Catalina 445, but I do own a Catalina 400. Similar in many ways, I find my boat to be easy to single-hand. Like IStream, I have the boat rigged to make it easier, but I have in-mast furling. I don't have a remote on my bow thruster, but I find the boat quite easy to dock. A 445 would be a great boat from what I hear about them, and based on my experience on the 400.  

PM if you want to know about the 445! Melissa  

Go big. For singlehanding bigger is better is most ways. Docking is perhaps the only negative. But the bow thruster is a big help. Just learn how to control her while moving really slow. Go someplace where docking is rare. Life is better in those places anyway. I've used a slip twice in the last 4 years. Sail size can be an issue. But the sails on a 44 are manageable. And you don't really need a huge overlapping headsail. Bigger boats are far more stable for singlehanders to voyage on. Stable gives better rest. Stable makes all tasks from cooking to reefing much easier. Large boats can easily carry all the fun toys without having to look like you are having a yard sale everyday. You can have big fuel tanks, store a SUP below, etc. etc. Go big. You deserve it.  

It seems more appropriate to compare the Sabre 456 to the Catalina 445. The Sabre 426 seems better to compare to a Catalina 400. As far as size, cost and dimensions. On a boat this size I prefer twin wheels.. So I would have a tough time with Sabre. Twin wheels provide considerably easier access from the helm to the rest of the boat. However, Could be if you never had twin wheels, there is nothing to miss. Definitly bow thruster is personal preference. If it something you like go with it. Bryce
