History:
The American Catalina 275 Sport (Catalina Series) Sport is a sleek, modern performance daysailer that reflects Catalina Yachts' commitment to innovation and versatility. Introduced in 2013, this 27-foot sailboat was designed to appeal to a new generation of sailors who value speed, simplicity, and fun on the water without sacrificing comfort.
With a distinctive plumb bow, open transom, and low-profile coach roof, the American Catalina 275 Sport (Catalina Series) Sport has a striking contemporary look. It was engineered for responsive handling and exhilarating performance, particularly in light to moderate winds. A lightweight hull, efficient fin keel, and balanced spade rudder allow the boat to plane and tack with ease, making it ideal for spirited day sailing or casual racing.
The rigging is simplified for easy single- or double-handed sailing, with a self-tacking jib, roller furling, and an optional asymmetrical spinnaker. Sail controls are led aft to the cockpit, allowing the skipper to manage everything from the helm.
Despite its sport-oriented design, the American Catalina 275 Sport (Catalina Series) Sport includes a well-appointed cabin for weekend cruising. It offers sleeping berths for two adults, a small galley, and an enclosed head, all executed with high-quality Catalina craftsmanship and materials. Large windows and hatches ensure ample natural light and ventilation below deck.
Built in California, the American Catalina 275 Sport (Catalina Series) Sport continues the builder’s legacy of quality and performance, bridging the gap between pure racers and traditional cruisers. Whether for club racing, coastal cruising, or simply enjoying a fast afternoon sail, this model has become a favorite among modern sailors looking for excitement and style.
