Seller's Description
1997 Catalina 36 MKII “Wind Rider” is in great condition and ready for coastal cruising. She is well-outfitted with radar, refrigerator, large water tanks, SS kayak racks, SS outboard lift, roller-furling and an anchor connected to 150’chain and 100’rode. Electric windlass has remote control for ease of anchoring! Because of their broad appeal and brand reputation, Catalina Yachts also hold their value well, making it a smart choice for buyers. Sleeping seven, Wind Rider has a v-berth double in the bow cabin, a salon table convertible into a double berth, tandem seats with table that converts to a single berth, and a double berth that spans the stern cabin. The salon table seats six and has integrated storage. The head can be entered from the forward stateroom or from the salon. A generous hanging locker is in the bow and a set of drawers is in the salon. The navigation area with electrical panel is near the companionway. The galley is L-shaped with easy access to the companionway for feeding the crew. The chef will enjoy creating delicious meals with a 2-burner propane stove with oven, a microwave and the double-stainless sink makes clean up easy! The 12v refrigerator is top loading and generously sized for longer voyages as is the large pantry. All sheets, halyards and reefing line are lead aft to the cockpit making sail handling and trimming easy. Cruising speed is 6 knots with the 35hp Universal M35B engine. The boat is highly maneuverable making docking and close-quarters maneuvers easy. The walk-through transom makes accessing the stern ladder and the hot/cold pressure shower easy after a day of diving/snorkeling/kayaking.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
8.2 kn
Classic: 7.37 kn
Hull Speed
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.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
14.6
<16: under powered
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.
Formula
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
-
40.0
>40: stiffer, more powerful
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.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
241.9
200-300: moderate
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.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
26.7
20-30: coastal cruiser
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.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
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.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
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
