- A 1997 Catalina 380 Sailboat for sale is our pick this week. The only downside is that this sailboat sold as we were stepping off of her. Not to worry, there are others classic cruising sailboats on the market at the same price. Check out the great ergonomics in the aft stateroom!!

This is my favorite boat under 40 feet that Captn Q has visited. Love the layout and the fact that it looks easy to clean and maintain.
Hello Captain .Boy I haven't seen one of those in a long time back in the late 80's early 90's I use to haul boats with a semi for a living ,I moved a lot of Catalina's big and small and I remember when that keel was the latest and greatest thing .many a'time I would have to wait till the next day to load but thy would allow me to watch them build them , It was great when a customer would ask a question about their boat and I could answer it . AAH those were the days .
Very cool!
I own a Catalina 380 and love the boat. It truly is a cruising boat with plenty of space. Thank you Captain Q for this video.
Would you hesitate to take this boat across the ocean or around the world?
@@rfunk727 I would not hesitate to do the blue water. My only downfall with the 380 is the high freeboard can be difficult to dock in windy conditions. I love the headroom in the cabin being 6'4".
Any chance Captain Q and Ran Day put together an episode of the PB? I would love to know the history of it. The captain always has the biggest smile whenever he mentions the PB.
Good idea! I’d love to see that too!
yeah that's a great idea!
We hope too but it would be at least 4 hours long with only one Johnny intermission
Thank you once again for what you both are doing. Not only do I enjoy the content and banter the production is excellent. This channel is really onto something and I’m excited to see where it goes. Keep up the good work.
Let me expand on your story: About 1962, Frank Butler ordered a Victory 21 from Hank McCuen (who, as a comedian, has credit for inventing the laugh track on his comedy show in 1950, it’s in Wikipedia) The sail emblem for the Victory was a checkered flag (and still is, I see them race as a large fleet in San Diego) following the horse race theme to his boat line names
Hank liked to imbibe a little, and play the ponies so his boat deposits often didn’t go where they should have Eventually Frank built his own Victory 21 in Hanks factory, which was the old Ford factory on Terminal Island, California. Frank found he was good at boat building so he founded Catalina Yachts and built many good boats, like the Coronados, Catalinas, and a lot of Victory 21s
Hank continued building boats, he had a talent for fiberglass, however the Victory was his best looking boat. His boats were called, Thoroughbred, Champion, and finally Yorktown
The Yorktowns were built like no other boat. He’d sell them at any stage of completion (like he did with Butler, which was one way to get it finished) The keel was hollow.
The completed boat, if it ever was completed, was launched at “Eddies,” (which is still there) just down the channel from the old Ford plant, where it floated on its side
Ballast was added until it floated level, then the cement truck backed up and filled the hollow keel and bilge until it floated on its lines. Hank took the completed boats weight distribution seriously, almost all boats float galley side down a bit, because it’s heavier than the dinette opposite. Not the Yorktowns
Yorktowns were visually challenged, as all his designs were, but incredibly strong Hank helped invent fiberglass boat building He was among the first to use a spade rudder and fin keel (victory 21)
You still see Yorktown in anchorages all over the world, as they are very inexpensive, capable, and, stronger than anything you could hit
When I met Hank, he was laying up a Yorktown 42, by himself, at age 80. An amazing guy
I was looking for a place to build a wood dinghy Hank let me use his shop for free, probably like he let Frank Butler and countless others.
Search out Yorktowns and see his legacy Some are very nice Some, not so much Backyards all over Southern Cal and beyond still have partially built Yorktown 32s and 41s rumor has it that Hark used sail dimensions on some boats that were shared by other designs, allowing used sails to be found easily and cheaply
Wow crazy story. Thsnks so much for filling in these details. Really fun to discover the backstory s in this industry
I think Capt Q found a boat I can stand up in! Definetly going on my list!
Thanks for being detailed about headroom in your episodes!
"Any excuse to lay down" Bhahaha. Good one Randy.
hes not easy to live with on these shoots
Thanks for another great video Cap'n. In the olden days when I was a youngster on the west coast I spent some time racing on Catalina yachts and once on a Columbia 50. Brought back some great memories.
You’ve convinced me that there really are boats out there that I will fit in (I’m 6’5”). Beautiful boat and thanks again for another great episode!
As an owner of a 1999 380 7' fin keel model, Captain Q certainly hit on all the features that make this an excellent boat, but he missed one... it sails as great as its aesthetics. It's heavy so she needs about 10 knots of wind to get it going, but we've sailed it in 35 knot gusts with a little main and a little Genoa out and were completely in control and very comfortable. Parts are available and reasonably priced, and while I have spent a lot of time and money upgrading her, that was all a personal preference and by no means mandatory. Thanks for the review.
As it warms we hope to do more actual sailing but thanks for the heads up. “Water all around and salt sea air .....”🤣😃
Great to see you still Captain, hope you're enjoying your retirement.
after being a delivery skipper of 40 years , Theres nothing wrong with the Cataline's , i class them above the Benes & Jenies , Just stronger & better all round built & thought out ..
Another great Captain Q episode. I love the insight and knowledge in every episode. You guys make a great team.
yes. I love your shows and the boats and your humor. Much appreciated.
Much appreciated!
Another great exploration of a well priced sailboat. I want to see this channel continue to grow, you two deserve it. As for boat, the engineer in me loves the design consideration on the interior, extracting space where others do not. The hull design would never meet my desire but I appreciate it for what it is and does, where appropriate. It is pretty Kewl that this one sold before the video was done. :D
We agree!
Every bit a “20”, very well kept up and the custom enclosure that goes with it to keep it that way.
Nice boat again Capt'n. I really like that low maintenance was built into the boat. I like the look of wood but keeping teak looking good is almost a full time job. Keep the good stuff coming.
Love Catalinas. Spent lots of wonderful days cruising the Chesapeake with my Dad on a Catalina 30. One of the things I like most about your channel is that it reminds me of hunting for that boat in boatyards around Baltimore.
ive been there ... a lot of
hunting available
16:47 Thank you for the height explanation!!!!
Greetings from sunny FL, Captain Q!
I recently found your channel and am now addicted.
Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks Captain Q I have learned more from you than you can imagine.
Another great find, love a Catalina. Easy to sail and handle. Thank you for sharing this beautiful sailing vessel. Always look forward to seeing you Captain and of course Randay 💕⛵️⛵️⛵️
Great job from down under ..
as I narrow my search, I find myself circling the catalina's (mid 30's range) I love that lay out. thanks for the walk thru. I need to go for a sail to be sure but a boat like this is almost certain to make my final list.
You are so welcome!
My top 3 fav sailboat, well for my budget.
This boat is excellent.
Wonderful review gentlemen!! She looks like she's been loved !!
Captain Q and Ran Day loving ur work! Me and the Mrs extra excited this week we have a C&C 34 but have been humming and hawing over a 380 for a couple years! Thanks!!!!
Good luck! Remember ...life can be short don't hemm too long good luck
As always! Just love these episodes.
Thanks for the episode. Loved the boat.
I have always been a fan of Catalina sailboats. I feel much better than most give them credit for
very solid design and construction no gadgetry
Howdy Captain-Q and Ran-Day thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
I really enjoy your reviews. Your are very knowledgeable and I always learn something new. Please keep posting. Thanks
Chris Coffman
Thanks, will do!
what a nice boat! Not surprised it sold quick with a Cap'n Q video
Enjoyed the episode 👍
Catalina makes a good boat.
Captain Q always makes my day. I'm not even looking for a boat and I watch him.
I really loved this boat! Thank you “Randay” and Captain “Q”. If I am a bit down, can pick up the Ipad, go look at a boat with you guys, it picks me up.
Is that better than “take two aspirin and call me in the morning “? We hope so. Thank you. Smile!!
Captain Q and Randy thank you for another find. Well done again and interesting. 🇺🇸👏⛵️
So Glad you enjoyed it
...also....that Keel.....being an Aussie, we got huge media coverage of the Perth Yacht Club pinching the cup from you guys. First time ever the Americas Cup went off shore, and it was THAT keel that caused all the stir. You showed a pick with a skirt around the finned keel. All the secrecy and hype was like a cross between James Bond and a party trick. Kind of MI5 meets Get Smart. But it was That keel that caught the worlds attention and brought the name of Ben Lexcen To every bodies lips. (And his design to the keels of many other boats, like we see here).
I think losing the cup to the Aussies and the effort to get it back generated a lot of interest in the sport worldwide.
My vote: I would sleep head forward in that aft cabin, just like I did in the C&C 37R( really a 40 footer.) Although that interior finish is in another league given the molded interior. That is/was a really good find on the newer side of your character. Kudos! PS I’m trying to identify a scotch to fit with the celebratory bubbles and meal;-)
Love this channel
I see a lot of Catalina Sailboats in the San Francisco Bay Area. Low maintenance, spacious interiors, very functional boats.
Yes they are!
GREAT CHANNEL!! AND AMAZING VIDEO
It could not be otherwise. Thursdays: cptn Q! Yeeeeeeess!
Beautiful boat, Head Fore would be appropriate , you can lift body and sit on edge of escape hatch and you want to see where you are going in emergency, you just have to try and remember where you are because if you suddenly wakeup and lift upward your gonna have a fairly large bump, thanks for the wonderful tour, Peace.
Great stuff guys
Tremendous layout,reasonable price.... Great detecting... A marvelous Team....
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great boat tour. With professional explainations.. tks guys. Is this the same model that Taylor bought. Anyone know??
I belong to a sailing club out here in Southern California. They have a fleet of privately own boats in six different marinas from San Diego to Oxnard. This gives the sailor many options to sail a variety of boats. My favorite boat has become the Catalina 36. They call that a "sugar scoop" transom. It's really nice especially with davits.
Hello I am near you, love California USA. Saludos
Before moving back to the land of snow, I used to belong to a charter club out of Dana Point; is that part of your group?
WOW!
Such an improvement over my brother's 1990 Catalina 34!
We own 1999 C380 - Hull 183. You have described the 380 perfectly.
thank you
Gorgeous!!!!....Another Humdinger!!!!!!!!
Thanks again guys for another great video.
(No Dinty More(?), no Sea Dog, no cheap champers’. I read some hater in yr comments go on about Sea Dog n stuff, please ignore them. Sea dog and Dintymore is Your schtick. I love Sea Dog. Hope he’s on again and not left behind because he’s too old. (Or sick and at the get well station).
I know this might be going too far....Sea Goat? (Woof)! Ooooh, don’t think Sea Dog approves.
Forget the haters, keep your thing kwirky, it’s so very charming. J.
PS...after some light editing the name Red Dog kept coming up in my mind. Fellas, if you haven’t seen the Aussie film Red Dog, your in for a treat. She gets an 18! Ten for watchable, 4 for pace and story, 4 for Red Dog, you can’t help hut laugh and cry by the life and times of this canine gentleman. Really worth a look.
Ooooh I learned about rudders on this episode. Keep up guys. Love your vids. The mix of light hearted jokes and the fact about the boats keep me coming back for more. I would love to see you on some west Coast boats if ever?
Wish we could get there
Get your kicks on RT. 66.
A perfect cruiser for those in no rush to go anywhere. And the aft cabin on a 38? That's a first for me.
That boat looks like it has one of the latest Bluetooth shower heads. Great video!!
They are amazing. Just plug into nearest usb port
Great boat! Let's see a 2 or 5 Capt Q rated boat just for fun sometime, it'll make me feel a bit better about my very leaky sailing bathtub : )
What a beauty!!
... any comment on the "winter cover" and frame. It looks like it was well designed and thought out ... and they just didn't "shrink-wrap" the boat ... (I grew up w/ Fischer Winter Canvas covers in NJ ... "breath-able" and didn't sweat the wooden boat into a rotting pile of junk ... )
Yes!
Beautiful. Thank you for the introduction to these marvellous boats. Only ever heard of a Catalina plane. ✈️
Glad you enjoyed it!....the old PBY ? FLYING BOAT
@@YachtHunters absolutely spot on LOL. ✅.
we Are aboard our 99 380 as we speak..had it 6 yrs mine has 4 , 6 volt batteries in it , a bit more battery capacity..
GOOD BOAT
thank you for the report
What a great sales technique if you have an interested buyer that wants to haggle on the price a little... "Capt Q is on the boat and in a matter of hours it will be in front of 10K people. Full price, my friend." lol that's awesome
Hello Capt, when are you coming to florida, there is a 40 ft Hunter Legend sail boat ready for blue water at a steal price. 40 gal per hour water maker, solar panels, wind generators, and 3500 watt inverter generator, you can go anywhere, also auto pilot
i just found your channel,and watched 12,maybe 15 videos,in a row,really like how you interact with each other,and not being a sailor,picking up alot of information,in a dark bar,i could matbe jib like a bonified salty dog sailor,and not get my aft kick in
wish I could say that it was me that bought it ,, LOVE THAT BOAT !!!
Worth every penny!
I took a bath up in a sailboat sink ( 30ft Irwin) 5'7" 120 can do. The galley sink. Nice service porthole in that aft cabin!!!! Hand beer , food, sunscreen etc right back and forth
Feel free to forward photos of that event lol
What a great layout and it looks in really nice condition, but whenever I see sleeping arrangements on boats where there's very little height over the bed the first thing that comes into my head is how much that's going to limit the positions of "conjugal activity".....I think I need therapy! 😁
As much as I am a fan of a Hinckley sv, this sv may be on the same list as a Hinckley! For me, this had to be one of the best surprise reviews and NOW I will be reviewing Catalina's on a regular basis for my future purchase. Loved the comment about "water and scotch"!
They are opposites. Better get educated.
@@rogersmith7396 I can have whatever vessel, arranged however on my list regardless.
It does beg the question: Is the left knob for scotch and the right for water, or the other way ‘round?
As a West Coast sailor I'm so glad to see you review a Catalina...
My favorite you tube channel
thank you Tim
Very nice. There's a reason yacht builders such as Catalina and Hunter are still around after all these years.
Hunter is gone.
My favorite so far
The new owner must have grabbed the Dinty Moore and Frixinet before you arrived.
THATS THD BEDG OBSERVATION YET THANKs GREG. THIS WILL SATISFY 36,000 inquiring minds 🤗
@@YachtHunters :)
I want a gig like Randay has.
Definitely not a Craigslist Catalina ! Very impressed indeed.
I’m currently looking for a family sailboat for long term cruising. I’m kind of old fashioned and love the look of the old boats, but I recognize the benefits of the modern boats. As much as I keep searching different models, I keep coming back to the 38-42 catalina’s
Sounds great!
Bermuda 40 II.
I love Friday mornings Australian time.... watching Captain Q and Randy makes my day!
we love to wake you up
Hey boss, what have you heard about the toroidal props? They are supposed to give thirty percent more range at the same rpm. I would be looking to change out that three blade for a "Sharrow" prop for sure.
My concern is the cord, if that keel takes a hard blow, what might the result be? Then what is this keel is grounded in muck or sand? That should be fun.
The new boats are definitely nice and well thought out however I don't have that feeling looking at it as one gets with a older boat.. kinda like a antique piano vs a new one or keyboard.
I know this boat... May have been on it or docked it at Newport Yachting Center age 14-18 dock hand /wharf rat.
You are so good at explaining all the parts and concepts! Why not make a sailing lesson video!!!
good idea.... just have to let the waters thaw out a little 😁
Those horizontal wings on the keel won't give lift. They are upside down wings (compared to a plane) so they'll have a downward force; like the spoiler on the back of a car. The force is downward because the distance under the keel-wing is longer than the distance across the top causing the water molecules under the keel-wing to spread out as they travel a further distance; and thereby causing a 'vacuum' which the comparatively more compacted water molecules above the keel-wing try to fill by pushing down through the wing, and in this case causing downward 'lift'.
Captain Q, can you please do an episode on a Gulfstar? I see several around for what seems to be great prices. Would love to hear your thoughts on the brand!
we have a beauty in the Q queue .:-)
Best!!!
It’s not just about keel bolts as you know, if that keel finds a rock at 6 knots, will it crack the underbelly? Test this for us Captain Q?
Are the main salon ports glued in?
Question, would you Global voyage in this vessel?
I'm curious to know what a fair price on one of these is in that condition which I think it would be hard to find better?
Thanks for the tour and definitely one that called out to me...
There were 2 on the market at that price... and of course, the asking price is just the start of a conversation... you just never know how eager the seller is...
for the price tag,, all that came with it,, i have to give it a 20
When you were laying in the aft berth under the cockpit sole. I'm wondering to myself, _if the ocean/sea decides to dump a big wave into the cockpit_ where are the scuppers ? Assume just 2 on aft end of cockpit sole ? An it's a little tight, hopefully no head injuries
Seawater in the cockpit can flow out under the helm seat thru the open transom.
there is no transom in the boat almost...instantly goes over board almost look again
@@YachtHunters Oops
How much did it sell for? That was the one for me!
Hey Captain Q - great video, no sea dog today though. But another Aussie reference, you have theme going on here.
I'm curious as to why this would not be a Bluewater sailing boat. Is it the lack of rudder and prop skeg /protection? Weight?
It looks like a very comfortable boat for extended trips.
The thing I like about this boat is it looks low maintenance, so more sailing time, v's fixing time.
Lower volume water and fuel tanks. Lighter gauge construction and rigging. My guesses.
Safety at sea accommodations is one key point along with some of the above ...not cut and dried and always room to go either way depending on prep
deck stepped mast and lighter rigging, for sure.
18:30 Head for or Aft?]. Head towards midships at sea to reduce perceived motion from pitching - if you care about that kind of thing.
Good thought
@@YachtHunters Actually, it is a science based though. The closer you keep you inner ears to the gyrecenter of your yacht - that imaginary point where your yachts motions are centered - the less the accelerations your sense of equilibrium are going to be disturbed and cause you upset. So, basically, aft cabins and forward cabins are out at sea.
If you look at traditional yachts, from say before 1980, why did they all strive to stack as many berths as possible amidships? That is why. A forward v-berth, you would only sleep there in port - unless you want to be seasick.
Please review the Hood layout for the best off shore berthing
@@YachtHunters Link please.
Are those blisters on the hull at 3:10?
Was that a wireless shower head?? Impressive!
I think I’d still be laying down in that aft stateroom if I were the cpt. 😂
Yup
the Catalina Wine Mixer ?
Awe shoot, we are in the market and I was all set to travel then Q mentioned she sold. She looked to be in very nice condition. Thanks Q. Is it ok I call you Q?
Well usually i prefer my rank to be included but since we gave us that rank you can call me anything ....except late for dinner ( that's a really old one sorry )
@@YachtHunters That's ok Q, I use it from time to time myself.
