2023 Catalina 355

The 2023 Catalina 355 is a 35-foot fiberglass sloop designed for cruising couples. Powered by a 30-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine, it achieves a cruising speed of 6 knots with a maximum speed of 7 knots. The boat features a shoal-draft lead wing keel with a 4-foot 6-inch draft and is fitted with a 6.5-horsepower Lewmar bow thruster with joystick control. The hull construction incorporates a five-part fiberglass design with a dedicated sub-sole grid, StrikeZone collision bulkhead forward, and a Deep Defense rudder system with stainless steel welded construction. The rig is a Selden in-mast Doyle furling mainsail with vertical battens and smoke sacrificial material, paired with a 135% Doyle roller-furling genoa.

Below deck, the yacht accommodates two cabins and one head. The main salon features new port and starboard large deadlight panels installed in July 2025, teak and hardwood interiors with hand-finished varnish, and a varnished quad-fold dinette table. The galley is equipped with a top and front-opening refrigeration unit with freezer compartment and a 110-volt microwave. A fresh-water electric flush toilet, air-conditioning unit, and full Garmin navigation electronics including radar are installed.

The boat carries a Fischer Panda 4-kilowatt diesel generator with approximately 150 hours of use. Lifeline AGM house and dedicated engine-start batteries provide power, supported by an electric sail-handling winch and a built-in amp-draw digital meter. Additional features include a Lippincott southern bimini and dodger, folding leather-wrapped wheel, Smart TV, and Fusion sound system.

Recent maintenance includes a hull buff and wax and bottom paint refresh in September 2025, a new thru-hull fitting for the AC raw-water pump in September 2025, replacement of the bow-thruster lower unit in September 2025, new deadlight panels in July 2025, and Yanmar engine and Fischer Panda generator service completed in June 2025 with a new generator raw-water pump installed in May 2025.
