The boat was built by Catalina Yachts in the United States , with more than 300 examples completed, but it is now out of production. It was replaced in production in 2012 by the Catalina 315.[1][3][4][5]
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][3]
