Embla
Embla — named after the first woman of Norse legend — lives up to her name: strong, graceful, and enduring.
This clean, well-maintained Catalina 30 is one of the best you will find, with over $40,000 invested in upgrades over the past eight years. She’s ready for her next chapter of day sails, weekend getaways, and coastal adventures throughout the spectacular cruising waters of the Pacific Northwest.
A member of the American Sailboat Hall of Fame, the Catalina 30 remains one of the most beloved and versatile 30-foot sailboats ever built — known for her comfort, stability, and roomy interior.
