Overnatting
From Practical Sailor:
The Catalina 350 is all about space. The main cabin measures 9'6" on the centerline from the base of the companionway ladder to the port bulkhead at the head. The cabin at its widest point, measured from the backs of settees, is 10' 5". To put that in perspective, a bedroom in an average-sized apartment is 10' x 12'.
Two hatches on the cabintop and five ports on each side of the cabin and hull add light that increases even more the feeling of spaciousness.
Seating in this cavern is on a settee to port measuring 66", and another to starboard measuring 73". The latter can be bisected by a teak-veneered drop-down game table. The dining table, located to port, measures 31" x 48" and, with a bench on the centerline, will seat six. It can also be stored and replaced by a smaller cocktail table.
The U-shaped galley has room for one person, who will be well-braced in a seaway, and is adequately equipped with standard gear...a two- burner stove-oven combination, reefer-icebox combination, and double stainless sink. Counter space is at a premium, though storage in cabinets and drawers is typical of a boat this size. A cutout provides space for a microwave above the stove.
The nav station is tucked into a corner to port, requiring the navigator to sit facing aft on a cushion at the end of the settee. The size of the table, 25.5" x 29", reflects the tendency of today's skipper to rely on electronics at the helm or cockpit bulkhead, and the use of chart kits, rather than full-sized NOAA charts. Since the 350 will see use primarily as a coastal cruiser and dockside getaway. the arrangement is suitable.
An island berth is located center-stage in the stateroom. The bunk measures 59" x 77", with easy assess from both sides. The area is enclosed with white surfaces accented by three reading lights. Storage is in two lockers and drawers below the berth. The area provides a comfortable retreat, although island-type bunks don't provide security for people trying to sleep when the boat is under sail. They're meant for use at anchor or in a marina.
The head is a full-sized compartment furnished with a shower enclosed by a folding door. (the door is stored of the boat...the owner prefers a shower curtain)
A second stateroom aft has a 55" x 88" berth and hanging locker. (mattress has never been used, and stored off the boat)
The engine compartment is well- insulated; we talked at normal voice levels while motoring.
