This is a beautiful 1997 Catalina 36MKII Wing Keel. Designed as a comfortable cruiser, there is room to make extended passages comfortably or to spend summers dockside. This boat has been continuously upgraded by experienced owners and is ready for many more years of sailing and adventures. The sellers report a long list of upgrades including newer furling headsail and newer running rigging. As noted, there is new running rigging and lines lead to the cockpit. Self-tailing primary winches and single line reefing from the cockpit. The binnacle features a folding wheel, compass, plotter with radar, throttle, and shifter. There are also full cockpit cushions in good condition and a collapsible cockpit table. The entire cockpit can be covered with a Sunbrella "bubble". Not only does this essentially offer you another room onboard when dockside or on the hook, but it also gives wonderful protection from the sun and weather when underway. Additionally, this entire area could be heated with a "Mr Heater" type propane heater to extend your seasons earlier and later. Down below is in equally nice condition. All cushions and surfaces are in good repair and all systems are said to be in good working order. There is a large forward stateroom with a V-berth and ample storage. A full enclosed head is aft to port with a hanging locker opposite. Further aft is a large convertible dinette to port with a smaller convertible table and upholstered seats opposite. There is a fully equipped galley to port and a navigation station opposite at the rear of the main cabin. The galley features a double sink, a gimballed three-burner stove with oven, large icebox with generous counter and storage space. There is also a good-sized private aft cabin separated by a door behind the nav station. This area features a large berth, ample opening hatches, and good storage space. The boat is in great condition both cosmetically and mechanically. All surfaces and materials on board are in good condition and there is no evidence of stains or unwanted odors. All systems are in good working order. The boat has been yard maintained with fresh wax and ablative paint applied annually. The boat is fully commissioned, launched, and ready to go immediately.
