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.
