2005 Catalina 36 MkII

This 2005 Catalina 36 Mark II is a fiberglass-hulled cruising sailboat built for extended time at sea or anchored. The 36-foot hull with an 11.92-foot beam carries a Westerbeke 35-horsepower diesel engine that delivers a cruising speed of 7 knots and a maximum speed of 9 knots, with only 1,602 engine hours on the meter. The boat is equipped with in-mast furling on the mainsail and a furling genoa replaced in 2016, along with a 3-blade propeller and a Hummingbird forward-facing depth sounder for navigating with confidence.

The electrical system is designed for independence, featuring 400 watts of solar panels, a 705-amp-hour lithium battery bank, Victron charge controller, and a 1,800-watt Xantrex inverter. These components work together to support extended anchoring without reliance on shore power or a generator.

Recent maintenance work reflects careful stewardship of the boat. In 2025, the engine heat exchanger was replaced and the hull received a fresh haul-out with Micron CSC bottom paint. New sanitation hoses were installed, and the ground tackle was upgraded with 300 feet of new Titan G4 5/16-inch anchor chain. The boat carries an 8-foot Highfield CL310 aluminum dinghy with stainless steel davits for tender operations.

Onboard comfort includes a cockpit enclosure that provides shelter and extends usable outdoor space through varying weather and seasons.
