1986 Catalina 36

The Catalina 36 is one of the most recognized cruising sailboats ever built, with nearly 2,000 hulls launched since its introduction. This 1986 example is a fiberglass sloop powered by a 25-horsepower Universal diesel engine, capable of cruising at 6 knots. The design balances moderate displacement with responsive handling, making it suitable for racing, daysailing, or extended cruising. Single-handed sailing is practical on this boat thanks to its manageable rig and intelligent layout.

Below deck, the yacht offers two cabins and one head, with generous interior volume for a 36-footer. Storage and living space are distributed efficiently, supporting both weekend getaways and longer passages. Topside, the cockpit and deck plan remain straightforward and functional, typical of Catalina's practical approach to sailboat design.

This particular yacht has been actively sailed and maintained by one family over 25 years. It comes equipped with all necessary gear and sails, ready for immediate use in local cruising grounds. The boat's condition reflects consistent care and regular use rather than storage or neglect.
