2000 Catalina 36 MkII — Immaculate, Turnkey Cruiser
Beautifully presented and EXCEPTIONALLY clean, this 2000 Catalina 36 MkII is the kind of boat that immediately reflects pride of ownership. Thoughtfully staged, carefully maintained and in outstanding condition throughout, she is ready to impress buyers looking for a comfortable coastal cruiser that is TURNKEY.
The Catalina 36 MkII is one of Catalina’s most successful cruising designs, offering an ideal balance of sailing performance, manageable handling and exceptional interior volume. This desirable wing-keel, standard-rig model draws approximately 4'5", making her well suited for Southern California cruising while still delivering the stability and predictable handling for which the Catalina 36 is known.
Her traditional mainsail and roller-furling 150% genoa provide a versatile, easy-to-handle sail plan. A spinnaker is also included for sailors who want additional performance in lighter conditions. An electric anchor windlass, approximately 94 feet of chain and 62 feet of additional rode make anchoring comfortable and convenient.
Power is provided by a Universal M35BC four-cylinder diesel with only approximately 557 hours. The engine is paired with a fixed three-blade propeller, and maintenance records and receipts are available.
The spacious cockpit is designed for entertaining and shorthanded sailing. Updated canvas, raised dodger configuration and newer cockpit cushions create a comfortable, protected helm and seating area. The walk-through transom provides easy access to the dock, water or boarding ladder.
Below deck, the boat is bright, inviting and remarkably clean. Catalina’s intelligently designed two-stateroom layout offers a private forward cabin, an exceptionally spacious aft berth, a comfortable salon, a fully equipped galley and an enclosed head. Thoughtful staging, Catalina rugs and a newer companionway door give the interior a polished, welcoming feel.
