There is a good reason why the Catalina 36 has been such an extremely popular boat since its original introduction in 1982, more than 40 years ago. Strong, seaworthy, & spacious for her length, along with excellent sailing characteristics have made this design very, very popular. The production of the Catalina 36's was stopped in 2006, so this is your chance to own a professionally-maintained, lightly used example in very, very good condition.
Stepping aboard "Kindred Spirit" you are greeted with a simple and effective deck layout, comprised of wide side decks to promote safe movement around the boat, and a large cockpit for comfortable cruising to days at anchor. A wide companionway opening makes for easy passage above and below.
Her interior layout is very spacious as well. Starting in the bow, there is a large V-berth in the forward cabin with the custom mattress option and storage below. Stepping back brings you to the large head to port, with more storage and a hanging locker to starboard. Stepping further aft brings you past the keel-stepped spar into the main salon which offers a comfortable L-shaped settee to port, with a bulkhead mounted table. To starboard are the two seats with a small table in between, yet it can be lowered to make a traditional berth should additional space be necessary. Moving further toward the stern brings you to the functional galley to port, which has a large double sink setup, ample storage, and 12 volt refrigeration. Opposite to starboard is the navigation station with chart table and electrical distribution panel. Access to the aft cabin is via the starboard side, and it opens up to an athwartships berth also with a spring-mattress. Lights have been upgraded to LED's.
