Catalina 36 MK II

This recent update of an extraordinarily popular 18-year-old design is a good all-around boat. owners’ main complaint is with interior woodwork..

catalina 36 sailboat data

Now the largest manufacturer of sailboats in the US, Catalina Yachts was formed in 1970, two years after founder Frank Butler was fired by the company to which he sold his first boatbuilding business.

Butler was the owner of a machine shop that provided parts for the aircraft industry when he began sailing at age 30. In 1961 he got the boatbuilding bug and formed Wesco Marine, soon changing the name to Coronado Yachts.

He successfully introduced the Coronado 25 in 1964, and sold the company to the Whitaker Corp. in 1968. A year later he was unemployed, and prohibited by a no-compete agreement from forming another company for two years.

With the expiration of the agreement in 1970 he established Catalina Yachts; introduced the Catalina 22, of which more than 15,500 have been sold; and began a steady ascent to the top of the industry.

Catalina 36 MK II

The company’s 700 employees occupy more than 500,000 square feet of manufacturing space at two plants in California, and a third in Florida, purchased from Morgan Yachts. Butler still manages the daily affairs of the company, and continues to act as “warranty coordinator.” He is assisted by chief designer and engineer Gerry Douglas, and Sharon Day, director of marketing, both of whom are now co-owners.

Catalina’s model lines range from the 8-foot Sabot to a well-developed line of Catalina and Expedition daysailers to boats with cabins that run the gamut from the Capri 22 to the Catalina 470. The company also builds Nacra catamarans.

Design Like most of the company’s boats, the Catalina 36 was designed by the in-house design team under the direction of Douglas.

“The target market for the 36 is couples and families who primarily weekend and vacation cruise but may be planning some extended cruising,” said Douglas. “They want a boat that is comfortable, offers reasonable performance, and is stable and predicable to handle. The boat suits their budget, and they can add gear for bluewater cruising.”

Like most modern production boats, the 36MKII has a fairly flat sheer, low-profile cabin and short overhangs. Beam is carried well aft to accommodate the double berth in the aft cabin.

“The hull shape has remained the same, since a basic tenet was that the boat would sail in a one-design fleet,” Douglas said. As a consequence, changes to appendages have had little affect on the PHRF rating, which is 140-150, depending upon local fleet handicappers.

The standard fin keel is the same design as on hull #1, though two shoal draft keels have been offered. An optional Scheel keel, which enjoyed limited success, has been replaced by a shoal draft wing keel. On new boats the rudder has been reconfigured as a semi-elliptical blade.

Three different decks have been manufactured but, as Douglas said, “most of the changes are cosmetic or ergonomic and have gone unnoticed. Maybe a customer said that a radius needed to be softened or I noticed things on my boat that I wanted to change.”

The MKII was introduced in August 1994 with hull #1368. Hull #2038 was launched last March.

Construction Catalinas are assembled from three principal moldings—the hull, deck and an interior liner that incorporates the cabin sole and much of the “furniture.” Butler was an early (possibly the first in the US) proponent of this time-saving method.

The hand-laid hull is solid fiberglass. Vinylester resin is used on the outer plies, underneath the gelcoat, because it better resists osmotic blistering than polyester. The balance of the laminate consists of alternating layers of 7.5-ounce cloth, 24-ounce roving and 1.5-ounce chopped strand mat (CSM).

“There’s more knitted than woven roving in current models,” Douglas said, adding that this improves structural integrity.

Hull thickness is 1″ at the centerline and 5/8″ on bottom panels.

The liner is bonded to the hull at all intersections using X-mat tape. Bulkheads are bedded in 3M 5200 and bolted or screwed to the liner.

The hand-laid deck is cored with Baltec AL 600 end-grain balsa; decks on earlier versions were cored with plywood.

The hull/deck joint is an overlapping flange bonded with a fiberglass-reinforced polyester mix and secured with 1/4″ bolts on 6″ centers.

The loads from the lower shrouds are transferred to the hull via tie rods fastened to the chainplates on top and to reinforced areas of the hull at bottom. A common complaint among owners responding to a PS survey is that chainplates leak and require annual inspection or rebedding.

Deck hardware is fastened with machine screws to drilled and tapped aluminum plates bedded in the deck laminate. This method produces a secure fit and avoids dimples on the ceiling of the interior.

The keel is lead with 2% antimony and installed with type 316 stainless steel keel bolts. The fin weighs 6,042 pounds, the wing keel 6,670 pounds.

On Deck Because the 36MKII was designed for cruising by couples and families with children, the deck layout is organized for shorthanded sailing.

The anodized mast is manufactured by Catalina. A Schaeffer 2100 furler is standard. The solid vang and most deck hardware are made by Garhauer Marine. Lewmar winches and hatches are standard. These lower-priced products are fine for their intended use.

The wire upper shrouds and stays are 5/16″; lower shrouds are 1/4″. A split backstay is equipped with adjustable turnbuckles. We would consider adding a backstay adjuster, which would have eliminated headstay sag on our test boat.

Standard running rigging on the boat is Dacron, strong enough and suitable for most owners, but we would consider switching to low-stretch rope.

Primary winches are self-tailing, chromed-bronze Lewmar 48s; halyard winches are self-tailing Lewmar 30s. Both were large enough for the heavy loads we encountered during our test sail.

The tracks for jib and genoa cars are located inboard, near the cabin sides, and outboard on the toerail. During our test sail we found the inboard track to be at least 1′ too short for sailing hard on the breeze with a double reef in the main and shortened headsail.

Standing rigging is led out of the way to the base of the cabin trunk, easing maneuvering along the 17″-wide decks. Coupled with a 1-1/2″ high toerail, and a stainless steel handrail running the length of the cabintop, we always found a handhold. However, stanchions are only 24″ high, 5″ lower than we prefer on an oceangoing yacht. Similarly, the mast pulpit is only 25″ tall.

A taller rig designed to improve performance in light air adds 24″ to the 44′ 9″ standard spar height and $860 to the purchase price, including the cost of larger sails — a deal worth grabbing, we think.

The anchor locker houses two 35-pound anchors and rode, and is designed for installation of a saltwater washdown hose. A Maxwell windlass mounted in the anchor locker is optional.

Ten-inch mooring cleats are located at the bow and stern.

We found the 8′ 8″ cockpit comfortable under sail and at dockside. Seats are 17″ wide and have comfortable 13″ backrests. Though a 42″-diameter destroyer wheel eases steering in heavy winds and seas, it impedes movement forward to the jib sheet or mainsail controls when singlehanding.

When the combination of wind and heel resulted in cushions being tossed around the cockpit, we stowed them below, only to discover that wet, slick cockpit seats make tending sail controls difficult when heeled more than 10°. A better non-skid surface would be safer.

Light and ventilation belowdecks are provided by Lewmar hatches located on the bow, amidships, and over the galley and nav station. The large hatch that vents the aft stateroom is covered by a hinged cockpit seat.

One old 36 we inspected had windows screwed to the outside of the cabin side. We prefer the current method of bedding ports in the cabin sides. However, the windows overlap the fiberglass to which they are bonded by 1-1/2 inches, and few owners reported leaks on newer boats.

A storage area spans the stern and provides access to the steering gear. A propane locker is located in the stern and vented overboard. The port lazarette has adequate space for the storage of deck gear, dock lines and, if properly stowed, an inflatable dinghy.

Belowdecks The accommodation plan is nearly 20 years old and is essentially unchanged, except for “minor changes in storage areas, especially where batteries are located,” Douglas said.

Catalina 36 MK II

The saloon measures 13′ 4″ long from the companionway to the forward stateroom, and maximum headroom is 6′ 5″. The combination of light- colored composite countertops and wood cabinetry, opening ports and hatches, and two portlights in the hull contribute to a sense of spaciousness.

The galley is located to port at the foot of the companionway, aft of a U-shaped dinette that seats four. (An L-shaped dinette with fold-down table also is available.) Forward to port is the head, which can be accessed from the saloon or the forward stateroom. The V-berth measures 90″ wide at the head and 84″ on centerline.

A second stateroom below the cockpit is accessed from a door in the port quarter. The nav station sits opposite the galley, aft of two heavily cushioned seats located to either side of a 25″ x 30″ game table that can double as a dining table or be converted to a 6′ 2″ long berth. Each chair has storage in its base.

“That table has been part of the design since hull #1, and was the first of its type in the industry,” said Douglas. “It’s still a good use of the space.”

One owner complained that the dining table mounting bracket is so far off the center of the table that a large person thrown onto the inboard edge could break the table. Another owner added a hinged second leg.

A common complaint among owners concerns interior woodwork. Said one owner, “The joinery is only average, but this isn’t a Hinckley; it’s a production boat.” Cabinet corners frequently do not fit squarely, and one owner reported having to plane drawers until they fit properly.

The galley is an L-shaped affair with a Seaward two-burner propane stove. The counter is 60″ long and 18″ wide when wooden panels are placed over the double sinks. A 22″ deep dry locker would benefit from the addition of a shelf and storage containers.

The 22″ x 26″ chart table is too small for full-sized NOAA charts but suitable for folded charts or chart kits.

The owner of our test boat echoed two common complaints about the heavily upholstered nav station chair, which is mounted on a swinging stainless steel bracket.

“The lock doesn’t always hold the chair securely under the table on a starboard tack,” he said, “and the chair blocks access to the aft stateroom and also intrudes into the passageway when occupied.”

“The nav station chair has been changed as a result of complaints about the stability of early models,” Douglas said. “Current boats have a bronze bearing on the seat swivel, and a stronger spring. And the backrest can be easily removed by those who are unhappy with the space it takes amidships.”

Catalina 36 MK II

The nav station bulkhead is large enough for mounting a VHF radio, GPS, stereo and instruments. The switch panel is hinged; wires are easily accessible and color-coded.

Newer boats have a second electrical panel located at the nav station, equipped with a Perko master switch for the engine and DC power.

Headroom at the forward end of the aft stateroom is 5′ 10″, and elbow room is adequate. The stern bunk is a whopping 78″ wide and 80″ long. However, there’s minimal clearance betweenthe bunk cushions and the bottom of the cockpit—only 16”. A hanging locker is wide enough for four sets of clothes, and storage is in four tiny drawers.

The head is essentially unchanged from early models, other than the addition of a sump in the shower. It measures 50″ x 36″ and is furnished with a large cabinet and mirror. A shower seat is forward of the sink.

The diesel engine is accessed by removing the companionway steps and panels in the aft stateroom. Reaching the port side of the engine is a difficult chore. The fuel tank is under the aft berth. All of the tanks have inspection ports.

Performance We tested a three-year-old MKII with a tall rig on a blustery winter day on Puget Sound, and were impressed with its performance in winds of 15-30 knots.

The standard-issue sails showed signs of use, since this owner sails 60-70 days a year. The test boat was also loaded for cruising with two kayaks lashed atop the cabin, a towed dinghy, barbeque, propane tank, and outboard motor mounted on the stern rail.

In wind speeds of 16 knots true and a one-foot chop on the quarter, we sailed at 5.7 knots under full main alone. This was good speed, with a tacking angle of about 110°.

Then, sailing upwind with the full main and 135% genoa, boatspeed varied between 5.5 and 6 knots. When we reefed the main she flattened out to approximately 15° of heel, her best attitude, and speed increased to 6.2 knots. Our tacking angle with the genoa up was about 100° —not stellar, but not abnormal, either.

Next we tucked in a second reef in the main, shortened the jib to 105%, and with water coming over the bow we watched speed increase to 7.1 knots. At one point the speedo recorded 7.6 knots on the beat. She slowed to 6.2 knots when we pinched her closer to 40°. Footing off to a broad reach, our speed increased to 8-8.5 knots, a knot faster than theoretical hull speed.

With sails balanced, we also tested the Autohelm 4000 on a reach in 20-25 knots of wind and found that the boat tracks well.

The 36 MKII performs as well as owners say, but could be improved with better-cut standard sails and a backstay adjuster.

The standard engine is a four-cylinder Universal 35B diesel. Fuel consumption is estimated to be 0.8 gallons per hour at 2200 RPM. When we doused sails in 25-knot gusts the diesel easily held the boat into the wind. The boat responds quickly to the wheel under power, as we discovered while poking in and out of fingers docks in a marina.

Conclusions Based on input received from more than 60 Catalina 36 owners who responded to a PS survey circulated by Phil Herring at Catalinaowners.com, we consider them a savvy bunch who understand the strengths and shortcomings of their boats.

These owners consider their boats to be structurally sound, seaworthy, and “fast enough.” They don’t suffer from expectations of Hinckley quality. We note that three 36 owners have circumnavigated the world, without incident according to the company.

“They don’t mind not having that extra layer of varnish or wood plugs in holes,” as Douglas says, “and they like to tinker on their boats. I like to think that we’ve given them a stable platform on which they can safely sail.”

Our test boat gets more-than-average use by a family that includes three teenagers, and it still looks fit. The boat also suffers some of the shortcomings of joinery assembled in a large manufacturing facility.

An excellent 78-page owner’s manual includes schematics of all of the boat’s operating systems, locations of through-hulls, a complete parts list, even a section on cleaning stains on the upholstery. From an owner’s perspective, this makes working on the boat easier. From Catalina’s perspective, it reduces the number of telephone calls to the customer service department.

The warranty is five years on the structure, and five years for blisters with a depreciating schedule that reduces to 50% in the final year.

Considering the number of 36s built during its 18-year run, and the number of repeat customers among Catalina owners, we think buyers looking for a moderately priced production boat should definitely check out this retooled version.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Same hull and rig as the earlier version introduced in 1982 but with a larger cockpit and updated deck and interior. (Replaced with the CATALINA 375 in 2008)

Also available with a shallower draft wing keel and tall rig. Wing keel draft: 4.52’/1.38m. Dimensions for tall rig: I: 46.75’/14.25m J: 14.33’/4.37m P: 41.0’/12.5m E: 13.0’/3.96m

Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Catalina 36 Mk1

eBook: How to Avoid Buying the Wrong Sailboat

The Catalina 36 sailboat, based on the published design ratios, would theoretically have the following sailing characteristics:

  • Sail Area/Displacement Ratio (15.4) : This ratio is slightly below 16, indicating that the Catalina 36 might be considered marginally underpowered. This could mean that it may not reach its maximum potential speed as quickly or as easily as boats with a higher ratio. However, it also suggests that the boat might be easier to handle, especially for less experienced sailors.
  • Ballast/Displacement Ratio (44.4) : This ratio is above 40, suggesting that the Catalina 36 is a stiffer, more powerful boat that can stand up well to the wind. However, this ratio doesn't account for the location of the ballast. If the ballast is located in a shallow draft keel, the boat might be less stiff than if the ballast were in a bulb at the foot of its keel.
  • Displacement/Length Ratio (218) : This ratio falls within the range of Moderate Displacement, suggesting that the Catalina 36 has a good balance between stability and speed. It should be able to maintain a reasonable speed without requiring an excessive amount of sail area.
  • Comfort Ratio (24.0) : This ratio indicates that the Catalina 36 is associated with a motion similar to a coastal cruiser. This suggests that the boat should provide a relatively comfortable ride in most conditions, although it might not be as comfortable in heavy seas as boats with a higher comfort ratio.
  • Capsize Screening Formula (2.0) : This value indicates that the Catalina 36 has blue water capability and should be relatively stable and safe during ocean passages from this aspect.

It's important to note that these ratios are theoretical and provide a general idea of a boat's performance and comfort. They don't take into account other factors that can influence a boat's behavior, such as its hull shape, rigging design, and the skill of its crew.

For example, the Ballast/Displacement Ratio doesn't consider the location of the ballast, which can significantly affect a boat's stiffness.

Similarly, Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio favors heavy displacement, narrow-beamed vessels with long overhangs, so modern light-displacement, beamy cruisers with plumb bows might not score well on this ratio even though they may have good bluewater capability.

Therefore, while these ratios can be useful for comparing different boats, they should be used in conjunction with other information and not as the sole basis for evaluating a boat's suitability for a particular purpose.

Your questions answered...

What design options were available for buyers of the Catalina 36 sailboat?

The Catalina 36 had several design options available for buyers. These included different keel options (standard fin keel and optional shoal draft wing keel), and rig options (standard and tall rig). The tall rig was approximately 2.0 ft higher than the standard rig and was offered as an option for sailing in areas with light winds.

Did any alternative versions of the Catalina 36 sailboat become available during its production run?

Yes, the Catalina 36 Mark II was introduced in 1994 and had a larger cockpit, different cabin ports, a walk-through transom, along with a new deck and interior design.

Were any later Mks of the Catalina 36 sailboat produced, and if so how did they differ from their predecessors?

The Catalina 36 Mark II was the later version produced after the original Catalina 36. It used the same hull design and rig, but had a larger cockpit, different cabin ports, a walk-through transom, and a new deck and interior design.

What is the development history of the Catalina 36 sailboat?

The Catalina 36 was first built in 1982 and was designed by Frank Butler and Gerry Douglas. A Mark II version was introduced in 1994 and produced until 2005. The design was replaced in the line by the Catalina 375 in 2008. The Catalina 36 was built by Catalina Yachts in the United States, with 2305 built in total.

What other popular cruising sailboats were designed by the designer of the Catalina 36 sailboat?

Frank Butler, one of the designers of the Catalina 36, also designed other popular cruising sailboats such as the Catalina 22, Catalina 25, Catalina 27, and Catalina 30.

Other sailboats in the Catalina range include:

The Cynical Sailor & His Salty Sidekick

29 november 2013, boat review: catalina 36.

  • Cost – Despite our best efforts we haven’t won the lottery, so ideally we’re looking for something in the US$50-60k range. This is just a ballpark figure at this point and very much depends upon what the boat comes kitted out with and what work and upgrades it needs. We still buy lottery tickets from time to time so maybe this will change. Here’s hoping.
  • Size – We’re looking for something in the 35-38’ range for two reasons – cost and ease of sailing. We currently sail on a 26’ boat so I’m sure anything larger will seem palatial at this point. And depending upon budget constraints, we may even go with something smaller than 35'.
  • Configuration – We’re only interested in a sloop (only two sails to worry about) and we want a shoal draft as we’ll be initially exploring the Caribbean (at least that's our current thinking).
  • Interior – We want two cabins so that we can have guests come and visit and a U-shaped galley aft. Scott is on the taller side so we need decent headroom. Other than that, we’re not too fussy.
  • V-berth forward
  • Head with sit-down shower to port
  • Hanging locker and storage to starboard
  • Main saloon with U-shaped dinette to port and two seats separated by small table to starboard
  • Aft galley on the port side with double stainless steel sink, two burner stove and oven, top loading icebox and decent storage
  • Navigation station on starboard across from galley
  • Quarter berth cabin with double berth aft
  • A less expensive shoebox style deck-to-hull joint was used in the build instead of a more substantial flanged joint with heavy-duty rub rail. This makes the boat more vulnerable to damage from minor docking incidents. (“Minor docking incidents” has our name written all over it, so definitely something to watch out for. And I wouldn’t rule out “major” ones either.)
  • The fiberglass liners used for the interior compartments are tabbed in place in a way that is structurally sound but can be difficult to access for inspections or service.
  • The stainless steel steamhead fitting which the forestay attaches to can corrode so this needs to be periodically inspected and addressed if any corrosion or cracking is found.
  • You need to watch out for leaking deck-to-hull joints, windows and hatches in older models. (Although I imagine you need to look out for leaking in most older boats?)
  • And you may find some osmosis, particularly in the MK I version.

Yes, that is a really great resource! Scott is always looking at Yachtworld and dreaming about his next boat. I think the other one he looks at is sailboatlistings.com - I don't know if you've run across that one? Cheers - Ellen

If you are looking at Catalina's you might consider the Catalina 38, which evolved from a Sparkman and Stephens design. This means you know it's a sweet sailing boat. I hear you about winning the lottery. Maybe some day.

Good tip on the Catalina 38 - I'll check that one out. Thanks!

Not familiar with the 36, but did bareboat a Catalina 309 for a few days. For a 30 foot boat we found it to be quite spacious, my only space complaint was the ability to take a shower in the small-ish head (don't know how it compares to the 36). http://thisratsailed.blogspot.com/2012/12/charter-day-5-last-sail-and-more-on.html I could live on the 309, and the prices of mono's are better than cats...but after our experience with hurricane Sandy, my wife dictated the 2 hull minimum in our quest. The best advice I can give (for what it is worth) is to keep an open mind. The boat we are about to close on wasn't on our original list at all. :) Good luck with your search! -Mike ThisRatSailed.blogspot.com

I think the open mind will be essential. It seems like every day we do some more research we add more boats to the maybe list. it can be a bit overwhelming at times. Thanks for the info on the Catalina 309 - I'll check your post out on it. Cheers - Ellen

awesome boat. if you are looking for the best boats then vso marine provide the best boats. SOV Yachts

We have a 1985 C-36 MK1. Love it. We have sailed her from San Diego to Zihuatanejo and all over the sea of Cortez.She was well suited for the task. Equipped with all Garmin electronics including AIS and autopilot plus 450 watts of solar.We rented out the house and have lived aboard "SPICA" for four years. Some things never get old.

Sounds wonderful! I'm very jealous!

Its a pinch out of your budget, but the Island Packet 350 is a great boat. Rigged as a cutter but can be sailed with 2.

The Island Packet 350 is a nice boat - we would be interested, but as you say they can be a bit pricey. Do you have one?

You might want to look at our site at www.catalina36.org. Some of the Members have their boats for sale including a great one in Michigan for $57K. I live on my C36 and love it. By the way the aft cabin is more spacious in the MkI model.

They are great boats! They were definitely one of the ones we were considering, but we ended up buying a Moody 346 just recently.

Given that the UK is the most obese nation in Western Europe and the NHS doctors are talking about the UK's obesity epidemic, I think the authors of these reviews should stop chucking stones in glass houses. It was explained to me when I owned my Catalina that the companionway was intentionally made large enough so that the auxiliary engine could be lifted straight out without having to strip it down to the block should it need to be replaced. If you look, in most Catalina's the engine is almost directly below the 'large' companionway. just saying.

Good point - it would make it so much easier to get the engine out. Although, one hopes that you never have to repower.

I took the bait and click on this "popular post" on your home page. When we bought our Catalina 36 we did absolutely no research, nada, ziltch, nothing - a total impulse buy. Good review. Can I bribe you to research our next boat?

So there's a next boat on the horizon :-)

I currently own a 27 Watkins shallow draft and love it but it's not big enough to make my trip to st Croix so I found an 88 model cat 36 I'm Concidering .so far it looks like a solid boat but I'm told people have lost their rudders because of corrosion .any thoughts

I am very grateful to this great spell caster who brought my ex husband back to me. This testimony is an amazing one and my name is Renato Sanchez. When i came in contact with this man it was also through a testimony written about him and i have also encountered many testimonies about how he has been helping others with their life. To get back with an ex is one of the most inner most feeling many people would love to experience especially as those memories with our ex always cloud our mind when someone else does some of those things our ex used to do. I was a single parent for almost 6 years and though my ex husband was far away from my kids i still wish someday he will return back to me. This spell doctor i encountered known as Doctor UZOYA helped me with my wishes and i am happy to say that i am back with my ex husband and i am very happy sharing the testimony with everyone so that they too can meet this great doctor and solve their problems. his contact address; [email protected] OR call his Whatsapp number on +1(301)909 8775. thank you so much Dr,UZOYA

Boat: 1999 Catalina 36
. I have a '99 Cataling 36 MKII. Tall rig, wing , all nav and . Purchased new after sailing a '87 31 for 12 years.
I know the is a production PWB (plain white boat) but I love it and is very easy for me to hand and with one crew is really easy. I have been sailing since I was 7 and am 60 now. Grew up on Bay. Both father and grandfather were ship captains and later Bar pilots. Never appealed to me when I was young. I currently sail out of Bayfield, WI on (the Great Lake).
My plans are to take this south. , , and . Everyone tells me that my boat is "not" a cruising boat. They think I should buy an , Hans Christian, etc. etc. Well, the fact is my boat is paid for and I still have to put into the boat for additional cruising . The way I see it, if companies can use those fool Hunters and Beneatueu's in their fleets, the couldn't be too bad of a choice. I could afford to buy an older "cruising veteran", say 10 years old. all the systems for God knows how much and then, two years later have a 12 year old boat that still may have hidden problems. Not sure I like the choice. I would love to hear from anyone who has thoughts on my boat and my planned cruising venue.
Thanks.

know your Lake (Superior).
The Apostles are a wonderful cruising ground, and if you've ever been to Isle Royal or the Canadian shoreline (my home waters) - then you've tested the boat to any reasonable conditions you should expect to encounter in the .
I agree wholeheartedly with your described philosophy! We did much the same in 1992 (returning to Thunder Bay for Xmas 2000). When do you intend to begin your trek South?
Best luck on your "Southbound" voyage.

Boat: 1999 Catalina 36
, especially Superior. Been to Isle Royal dozens of times, the Slates, etc. Great sailing and country.
I'm thinking about a 2-year plan. Gives me time to beef up systems, , , etc. The is pretty much complete. I was just at Strickly Sail in Chicago and got a set of Garhauer adjustable cars. Sure will make adjustments a lot easier. You can do it under load. I'm considering a but space and weight are at a premium.
I'm looking at an innerspring mattress for the forward . Pricey but the comfort is worth the expense. 5" just don't do it for me for extended periods.
As I mentioned, I have all integrated with repeaters below. All my , including are at the using a Navpod system. Works great to have all that where you need it. Also have to add . Also need a if I want to use it for free . The option is to use a fee . Have to see what happens.
I would like to have extra . I only have 25 gal. capacity now. is 88 gal. Small but I can live with that.
I'm going to have some custom cabinetry added to the aft stateroom.
I would like to be able to be independent for at least 30 days without having to re-provision, etc. When you get some place that you like, who wants to go back and re-stock?
More later. Thanks again.

cruiser, a 25' four Winns vista. If my wife knew how much I enjoyed that boat, she would burn it as the reason of my sometimes vacant stares. What she don't know won't hurt me, I hope. Oh yeah, she reads this,too. You are correct, we are at Barkers Island. Eric and Scott are the best, I have not meet the rest of the crew, we just bought our sailboat from John last Oct. I will test their patience to the breaking point this spring. So far, I have absolutely no complaints with them. Am sure it will stay the same.
Shane; been following your blog for awhile now. I cannot thank you enough about your offer for info. I will ask. I do have some, do I send them to you blog? Not wanting to be a real pain, just a small one. I know you walked past our boat quite a few times last year. We bought our S-2 from John there @Barker's. As I stated, when, not if, our place sells, we will be chasing you quite a ways.
Barpilot, I do hope to meet up with you guys. I do know of a good friend looking for a well equipped boat. I will send him the site you gave. His name is Terry, but the real boss of that outfit is Alicia. She will be the deciding factor with them, and please tell them I said that very thing if they call. Just don't believe them when they explain me. They lie a lot.

and shut up. My last post here was a couple years ago, since then we took our 30' S-2 CC across Lake Superior,down Lake Michigan to Chicago through the Ill. waterway to the rivers and ended in Mobile. Spent. Couple weeks there putting on a barrier coat(horrible job) then took Eclipse across the gulf to Marathon, hung around there awhile, then on to Bahamas. Spent 6 months in then back to of Fl. and put Eclipse at Port Charolotte. I write all this to show you most any boat can do it if you have the desire. Do not listen to the "dock warriors", I honestly feel they are just jealous, or afraid. I had many tell me I needed . Why I would ask. Response was so you can see what is ahead. was an issue on 2 occasions only. The night crossings were done safely. Only 2 in that category. Others said I needed . Why? My main concern with "seeing" other we of the smaller go fast boys out there, and they don't have ,anyway. My recommendation to you is buy a great , have all your in top shape,a good GPS/chart plotter, a back-up also. Perhaps a personal . Also, you will need a good and . Go have fun, leave all the warriors on the dock. As close as we could tell, we did roughly 5500 miles in the last 19 months, and we cannot wait to go back and explore some more. needs forced us back to Mn.,but as soon as possible, we will take our 30' boat and go again. As you said, the boat is paid for, and as long as you keep her up to standards, and your desire is still strong, you will see as much of the world as you want. By the way, we saw many,many Catalinas out there. More Bene's, but they were French Canadians, so that answers that question. Our 1984 S-2 did the same thing as the bigger,more expensive did, but we may have been somewhat slower, what with out 13 h.p. . Go do it and I hope to meet up with you in Bahamas next year or so. Sand Dollar beach in is best place to find me if we are in port.

suitability for sailing but thought I'd chime in anyway at this late date.
My experience with Catalinas is on the left coast and on a of a somewhat larger , we received a securite call about 10 miles south of Humbolt Bay but north of Cape Mendocino about 4:00am one morning from a or 32 requesting assistance. We found the vessel quickly and towed her into Humbolt Bay as the sea was running too high to cross the bar under tow into Noyo River/Fort Bragg.
The had delaminated about 8 feet from the bow back on the port side and she was water through the and seam with every wave.
There was a very frightened young couple aboard from Ventura who had left a few days prior and a big growler had opened up the deck from the a few hours previously.
Before leaving on an , I would certainly check this out as well as along the .
Catalina's are popular boats, at least on the west coast, but the ocean can be nasty and turn on even the fittest sailor and his vessel. Cheers, Phil
