1985 Catalina 27

This 1985 Catalina 27 is a Tall Rig sloop built on the proven design that made this class a popular coastal cruiser. The Tall Rig configuration enhances performance in light winds, a meaningful advantage for cruising in variable conditions. The fiberglass hull and robust build are well-suited to regular use and everyday sailing.

The boat carries a 14-horsepower Universal diesel engine currently showing 722 hours of operation, offering reliable auxiliary power for harbor maneuvering and calm-weather passages. Cruising speed runs around 5 knots, with a maximum speed of approximately 6.25 knots under sail and power combined.

Below deck, the single cabin layout includes one head and sleeping berths arranged for comfortable overnight use. The interior is warm and well-organized, while the cockpit provides functional space for day sailing and short passages. The boat has received thoughtful upgrades in recent years: modern electronics, new running rigging, renewed lifelines, and attention to chainplate work. Additional cruising improvements throughout the boat reflect sensible maintenance and owner care. The overall condition and equipment package make her feel well-sorted for coastal cruising and weekend use.
