1985 Catalina 36

This is a 1985 Catalina 36, a fiberglass sloop built during the design's peak production years. The model established itself as a capable cruiser and daysailer, known for responsive handling and spacious accommodation relative to its length. The boat measures 36 feet with an 11.92-foot beam.

The single Universal diesel engine produces 21 hp and drives the boat at a cruising speed of 7 knots, with a maximum speed of 7.5 knots. The 36 has a moderate displacement hull that balances performance under sail with comfort for extended time at sea.

Recent work includes new standing rigging and roller furler installed in 2019, new running rigging, and new canvas. The mainsail is a Quantum on a Tides Marine track. The galley and head feature new counters. The engine was last serviced in 2025, and the bottom was painted in 2023.

The boat has had two owners since new. An active Catalina 36 Owner's Association maintains resources for owners of the model.
