Seller's Description
The solid-built 1983 Catalina 36 Masthead Sloop with the 12’ beam has a spacious design to accommodate your favorite crew. This sailboat blends spacious accommodations with outstanding performance under sail.
Designed for comfort and convenience, the Catalina 36 features a stable hull with graceful lines and ample volume for spacious living quarters. The powerful rig is easily handled by a short-handed crew, while the balanced blade rudder ensures a light helm and excellent tracking ability. The Catalina also features an Auto Feather Prop referred to as a Max Prop!
On deck, you’ll find molded bulwarks and non-skid surfaces for safety, along with wide side decks for easy access to the cockpit. The large anchor well with built-in storage rack and double anchor rollers delivers secure anchoring, even with the optional dodger in place.
Inside, the interior is nicely appointed, offering a comfortable retreat after a day of sailing. The galley boasts ample workspace, a refrigerator, microwave, and a gimballed stove / oven for preparing meals on the go. The main salon features a large wrap-around dinette, sofa, and nav station, while the private queen berth forward and guest berth aft provide comfortable sleeping quarters for family and friends.
Powered by a Yanmar diesel engine, this Catalina 36 is efficient. Additional features include a custom stainless steel radar post, cockpit Bimini for sun protection, battened main, and roller furling genoa in very good condition.
With four opening hatches on deck and plenty of light and air below, this sailboat is perfect for entertaining guests. The unique aft cabin offers a settee, hanging locker, and double bunk, while the oversized V-berth provide ample space and comfort.
Engine and mechanical installations are carefully planned for easy owner maintenance, with readily accessible fuel filters, pumps, and fittings. While on those long off shore adventures you can keep your batteries charged up with the Solar Panel and integrated Soler Inverter.
Don’t miss out on this budget-friendly opportunity to own a classic Catalina sailboat!

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
Also available with a shallower draft wing keel and tall rig.
Wing Keel
draft: 4.17’/1.27m
Disp.:14100 lbs./6396 kgs
TALL RIG:
I: 46.75’/14.25m
J: 14.33’/4.37m
P: 41.00’/12.50m
E: 13.00’/3.96m
Sail Area (100%): 601.46 ft2/55.88 m2
A MkII version was introduced in 1994 that features a larger cockpit, with modified deck and interior.
