1987 Catalina 36

The Catalina 36 is a respected cruising sailboat known for balancing comfort with reliable performance. This 1987 model displaces 36 feet on an 11.92-foot beam and is powered by a single 25 hp Universal diesel engine, capable of cruising at around 4.8 knots.

The interior layout maximizes usable space throughout the cabin. The salon includes generous seating and a large dinette with good natural light. The galley runs along one side with ample counter space and storage, while forward sleeping quarters and an aft cabin provide two distinct staterooms. The head compartment includes a separate shower area.

On deck, the cockpit is wide and well-designed for extended time at the helm. Side decks are broad, and solid lifelines facilitate safe movement forward. The sail plan covers a wide performance range, suitable for cruising and casual racing alike. The fiberglass hull construction reflects Catalina's reputation for durability and practical design that has proven itself over decades of ownership and use.
