International Catalina 30/309 Association
Membership...The non-profit, low-cost IC30A is open to all owners of a Catalina 30 or 309 yacht. The international membership represents over 20% of the ~7000 production Catalina 30s built, making this the largest USSA/ISF one-design keelboat owners association in the yachting world. With over 44 chartered local fleets, owners are encouraged to join or form new fleets in their local sailing areas.
The C309 carries on the traditions of the discontinued C30 and is a welcome addition to our membership. As the C309 family develops much more info and resources will be added to the association.
