1985 Catalina 36 for Sale – 36 ft – Chesapeake City, MD, United States

1985 Catalina 36 Tall Rig - Wave Walker

The 1985 Catalina 36 Tall Rig is one of the most successful production cruising sailboats ever built. Designed by Frank Butler and introduced by Catalina Yachts in 1982, the Catalina 36 quickly became a benchmark for affordable, comfortable coastal cruising.

The Tall Rig version offers increased sail area and improved light-air performance, a highly desirable configuration for Chesapeake Bay sailing.

Wave Walker is powered by a Yanmar 3JH3E diesel engine and represents an exceptional opportunity to own a proven cruiser at an attractive price point.

Condition: We would recommend varnish or teak oil on exterior teak to make this boat shine.
