1997 Catalina Morgan 38

This 1997 Catalina Morgan 38 is a center cockpit cruiser built for extended passagemaking. The fiberglass hull measures 38 feet in length with a 12-foot beam, powered by a single Westerbeke diesel engine.

The layout centers on two cabins and two heads. The owners suite occupies the aft cabin with a walk-around bed and ensuite head featuring an electric fresh water toilet. The galley flows through the main cabin with refrigeration installed in 2024 and a microwave from 2018. The center cockpit sits elevated on teak floors with cushions refreshed in 2019, outfitted with Garmin and Raymarine electronics for navigation and deck management.

The sail plan includes a furling mainsail replaced in 2017 and a furling genoa from 2018. Deck equipment comprises a 44-pound CQR stainless steel anchor deployed via electric windlass. Power and performance upgrades span recent years: a three-blade folding autoprop for efficient motoring, four 48-watt solar panels for auxiliary charging, and battery banks from 2021 and 2025. The refrigeration system was renewed in 2024.
