Official LOA of a 350

[Swanman]

Hi,

I have recently bought a 350 in Australia. I need to check the official LOA. On my Maritime registration document it is listed as 11.10 metres.

I think this it too long.

Does someone have the official record of LOA so I can give this to the registration office as proof so it can be updated?

Thanks

Fraser

Fraser,

Per the Catalina Corp 350 brochure published date of 9/2002, LOA for the Catalina 350 is 10.97m= 36.0'.

Sailboatdata.com shows 10.80 m https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/catalina-350/

If you search the web, you'll find a number of slightly different figures for the C350 LOA. Catalina Yacht's website brochure for the MK II 350 lists the LOA as 11.1 M. - 35' 3".
If a government agency is asking, I suspect "smaller is better" especially if this number is being used to calculate a tax. Go with Brett's number

Fraser,

So, LOA may vary with model year/model.

What year is your 350?

[Swanman]

2004.

I would prefer to have the smaller loa on the registration, as it should help with mooring fees. If there was some official Catalina documentation I could show the registration agency, then I could ask for it to be changed. Any ideas?

Interestingly 35 feet and 3 inches coverts to 10.74 metres according to google.

Do you have a link to the brochure I can’t find it? Tx

[Swanman]

I found it

Actually on the brochure the LOA is 36'5. The length of hull is 35' 3.

This makes sense to me as the 350 feels bigger than a 35 footer. I guess it really is!

[wolfe10]

Fraser,

What is the date on the brochure that shows the 36'5" length?

And, are you looking for documentation that shows a shorter or longer length for registration?

[Swanman]

Shorter preferably.

No date on the publication. I think it is for a Mk1 though.

[JohnNorton]

The spec sheet I have is "Catalina 350 Specifications Rev: 3/3/03". The LOA is listed as 36"5" (11.010m)

[Swanman]

Well 11.1 she is
