This 1988 Catalina 27 is a fiberglass sailing yacht built for accessible cruising and day sailing. The 27-foot hull, with an 8.83-foot beam, balances stability with easy handling in a design that has proven itself across decades. A Universal diesel engine rated at 14 horsepower provides auxiliary power, with the boat capable of cruising at 5.5 knots and reaching a maximum speed of 6 knots.
The cabin layout includes a single main cabin with one head and sleeping accommodations suited to weekend trips or extended coastal cruising. The open cockpit offers comfortable helm and crew positions, typical of the Catalina 27's straightforward design philosophy.
Recent maintenance work includes new batteries and charger installed in 2025, along with engine service. Both the Bimini canvas and lazy jacks are new in 2025, supporting practical seamanship and sun protection while underway.
