The Catalina 275 Sport is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, an open reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel or optional wing keel. It is equipped with a carbon fiber reinforced polymer tiller and basic accommodations for sleeping, including a galley and an enclosed head. A retractable bowsprit is optional.[1][3][4]

The boat displaces 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) and carries 2,040 lb (925 kg) of lead ballast with the standard keel and 2,200 lb (998 kg) with the wing keel.[1][3][4]

The boat has a draft of 5.22 ft (1.59 m) with the standard keel fitted and 3.66 ft (1.12 m) with the optional shoal draft wing keel.[1][3][4]

The boat is fitted with a Yanmar 2Y1M5 14.6 hp (11 kW) diesel inboard engine, powering a saildrive two-bladed propeller.[1][3][4]

The design has a hull speed of 6.91 kn (12.80 km/h).[4]
