1986 Dufour CATALINA

The Dufour Catalina 36 is a well-regarded cruising yacht built with solid fiberglass construction. The design prioritizes comfort and practicality, with a keel-stepped mast, generous headroom throughout the main saloon, and a U-shaped galley that makes efficient use of space. A 30-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine powers the boat, paired with a practical rig suited to coastal cruising.

The interior layout includes three cabins and one head, offering flexible accommodation for extended cruising. The galley is fully equipped with a Force 10 stove and a refrigerator with small freezer compartment. The bathroom provides ample space, and the overall layout emphasizes comfortable living for time spent aboard.

The yacht carries recent upgrades including a new suit of sails, Selden furling system, and Raymarine instruments. Deck equipment includes a Bimini top, teak swimming platform, and an 8-person liferaft. The diesel engine shows 1,100 hours of service and has been well maintained. This Catalina handles easily under sail and offers straightforward operation for cruising passage-making.
