The Catalina Yachts 320 is a masthead sloop designed by Gerry Douglas and built by Catalina Yachts from 1993 to the present, with a MARK II version introduced in 2006. It has a hull length of 9.91 m, a beam of 3.58 m, and a draft of 1.83 m, displacing 5126 kg. Early models were marketed without a bow pulpit.
