Catalina 445
Description
The Catalina 445 is a modern mid-size coastal/offshore cruising sailboat from Catalina Yachts (Woodland Hills, California, USA), introduced in 2009 (first hulls 2010) as the flagship of their "5 Series" line. Designed by Gerry Douglas (Catalina's in-house naval architect), it features a fresh hull with a long waterline, moderate beam, and optimized form for better performance and comfort than predecessors like the Catalina 42/387/380. It's built for couples or families seeking a spacious, easy-to-handle liveaboard-capable cruiser with good sailing characteristics—emphasizing value, durability, and real-world usability (e.g., no shortcuts in construction, excellent resale).
