2002 Catalina 28 MKII

The owner bought this boat in 2015

General condition and any additional information

Somniatis is a Catalina 28 MKII. Commissioned in 2002 and delivered to Seward Alaska via truck. Her home has been Seward Alaska since splashing. I took possession of Somniatis in April of 2015 and have enjoyed 7 years of sailing, upgrades and learning. Somniatis has had only one previous owner.

The Catalina 28 MKII is a masthead Sloop with a fin keel and spade rudder. For a complete review of this exceptional sailboat read the article posted by John Kretschmer (Nov 2008) in Sailing Magazine.

Conclusion The Catalina 28 is a perfect example of why sailing should be more popular, there isnt much not to like about this boat. It isnt an offshore cruiser, and it isnt going to win races. It is, however, an affordable cruiser thats easy to sail and comfortable on deck and below. The Catalina 28 should be high on your list if youre looking for a used boat in the $30,000 to $40,000 range.

Somniatis was my first sailboat and provided everything I was looking for however my next adventure involves crossing oceans. I will always love this boat. I hope you will too.
