Boat Details
Description
Velocity is a rare find being a long-distance cruising boat with an extensive and unrivalled sail plan and equipment for serious sailors. Traditionally equipped Catalina 445s have long had a reputation as reliable, comfortable cruisers with generous accommodations. Velocity encompasses all these benefits, but with the addition of custom sailing equipment, rendering her the most well-equipped Catalina 445 on the market, ready for both long distance cruising, and racing.
Gerry Douglas designed the Catalina 445 with the occasional racer or performance interested skipper in mind, and the yacht was immediately reported as being "sporty looking" by Cruising World on its release to market. To meet the need for speed, the laminate schedule used to lay up the hull was beefed up: solid glass to the waterline, and balsa-cored above, and longitudinal aluminum stiffeners were added halfway up each side of the hull to create a structure that would be up to the demands of offshore racing or bluewater voyaging.
For those less familiar with the Catalina 445, the model was introduced in 2010, and quickly became an award winner, obtaining prestigious acclaim from both Sail Magazine and Cruising World, as a "Best Boat", and "Boat of the Year" respectively. Based on customer feedback, the yacht was designed to be a true and generous 2 cabin boat, with a third flexicabin that could be used for storage and occasional overnight guest accommodation.
Velocity has been configured to reach the renowned designer's full potential in both looks and function, with an unrivaled sail plan, and all the creature comforts need for long distance living.

Manufacturer Provided Description
The hull 445's hull form is optimized to provide the gentle, predictable motion underway, which is so appreciated in other Catalina models. The deck is strikingly handsome with a low profile cabin structure, twin helm stations and a roomy cockpit with tall, secure comfortable coamings and a cockpit table that seats 4-6. The deck is finished with a traditional diamond-patterned non-skid.
The owner's cabin is forward for privacy and optimum ventilation. Private head access from the forward cabin along with a electric head and separate shower complete the forward cabin arrangement. The guest cabin is aft with a large comfortable double berth, angled for easy access and greater headroom. This design incorporates a innovative cabin on the port side. This cabin is a flexible space that can easily be converted to whatever your cruising style dictates at the time-sleeping quarters, storage, or a work room with a bench. The galley has the storage and features needed for extended cruising.
