O que este vídeo aborda
The Catalina 36, produced from 1982 to 2006, offers significant value in the $30,000 to $40,000 used sailboat market due to its balanced performance, spacious interior, and extensive owner support network.1:14 The design features a 36-foot length, nearly 12-foot beam, and a displacement of approximately 13,500 pounds.3:06 Buyers can choose between fin keel (5-foot-10 draft) and wing keel (4-foot-5 draft) configurations, as well as standard or tall rigs.3:13 The Mark I model features a traditional cockpit, while the 1994 Mark II introduced a wider stern, larger cockpit, and improved aft cabin.2:20 The hull is solid fiberglass, though the cored deck requires inspection for moisture, particularly around chain plate penetrations and the mast step.7:37 Powered by Universal diesel engines, the boat performs well in varied conditions, reaching speeds of six to seven knots upwind in 15 to 30 knots of breeze.7:03 The widespread availability of parts and technical documentation makes the Catalina 36 a practical choice for cruisers seeking a versatile, well-documented vessel.1:09
