The 1992 Catalina 36 is a fiberglass sloop built for coastal cruising. She features the open transom layout, a design choice that sets this model apart, offering straightforward water access via swim platform and simplified dinghy boarding. Powered by a 35-horsepower Universal diesel engine, the boat handles efficiently under power as well as sail.
Below deck, the interior layout centers on two cabins and one head, arranged around a galley and main saloon. Storage is generous throughout, and the galley is notably large—well suited for extended time aboard. The design balances livable space with the boat's sailing performance and handling characteristics that have made the Catalina 36 a popular choice for cruisers.
Recent updates include new standing rigging, newer sails, and an upgraded electronics package. The deck layout supports short-handed sailing, with controls and winches positioned for efficient operation by a small crew. The open transom design keeps the boat practical for day sailing and weekend trips as much as longer passages.
