Catalina 36 MkII 1998

Introducing the Catalina MkII, a high-performance sailing vessel designed for racing enthusiasts. This model features adjustable jib tracks that allow for fine-tuning of the jib sheeting angle directly from the cockpit, enabling you to achieve the perfect jib shape without the hassle of luffing the sail repeatedly. Additionally, it includes a downhaul guy for the spinnaker, making handling easier. The boat is equipped with a rigid vang to enhance sail shape and support the boom in case of a topping lift failure. Upgraded for efficiency, it boasts a folding propeller that minimizes the risk of entanglement in crab trap lines. With a fin keel and a draft of 5 feet 10 inches, this vessel delivers exceptional sailing performance. Common features with the production 36 MKII include: - A windlass with an under-deck storage locker that facilitates easy cleaning and drainage for stowed chain or line. - Wire lifelines for easy inspection, ensuring safety and reliability while at sea. - A dodger with Isinglass windows for excellent visibility and a center opening for ventilation. - A protective cockpit bimini to shield from the sun, enhancing comfort during sailing. - A large steering wheel that allows for better visibility of the jib sail and easy course adjustments. - A complete instrument cluster at the helm featuring Garmin depth, speed, wind angle, GPS, Ray Marine autopilot control, and a large lighted compass. The under-deck autopilot operates quietly and is protected from the elements. Engine instruments are conveniently located below the wheel for easy access. - A removable helm seat for quick access to the swim platform, with a cockpit floor designed for efficient water drainage. - A swim platform that enhances safety in man-overboard situations and simplifies boarding from a dinghy. - Davits for a dinghy that support solar panels to keep batteries charged without needing shore power. - Stainless steel hand grips throughout for low maintenance and durability. - An original Universal engine with easy access for servicing, including a water separator and separate oil filter for fuel cleanliness.

Electronics for speed, wind, depth, and AIS are interconnected through NMEA2000, with radar mounted to prevent fouling the jib during maneuvers.
