1996 Catalina 28 MK II

The 28 Mk II incorporates modern features such as the stern boarding platform, walk-thru transom, wide side decks, and a large cockpit with all lines led aft to the cockpit. Combine these features with two large sleeping areas, a full galley, and enclosed head and you have a wonderful coastal cruiser for a couple or small family.

Evening Breeze has been refurbished starting in 2019 with new equipment, rigging, and interior to be configured for cruising and weekending. Since 2020 she has a new mainsail with a Mack Pack, new running and standing rigging, new bimini top, new jib sun cover, an at anchor sunshade, and mosquito netting cockpit tent. Cockpit cushions are in great shape too. Bottom paint new in April 2024.

Down below, the galley has a gimballed two-burner propane stove with oven, sink with hot/cold fresh water, large icebox, a microwave, and many storage areas. All settee and bed cushions were replaced from Catalina in 2020. Sleep two in the forward Vee berth and two in the queen size aft cabin. In the salon area, a 22-inch flat screen TV with DVD player with adjustable mount and Sony AM/FM/Bluetooth stereo will entertain.

Equipment: The electrical system is based on two AGM batteries with a 120 volt battery charger and a 160 watt solar panel with controller. There are 12 volt and USB outlets in the cockpit, aft cabin, salon, and Vee-berth. Most cabin lighting is LED with four reading spotlights. A 1500 watt inverter will power most 120 volt needs. The water system has a 25-gallon bow tank, an 18-gallon side tank and a 6-gallon hot water heater that heats from the engine or shorepower. The hot water heater and freshwater pump have been replaced as have the galley and head faucets. The manual head assembly was replaced also. A hot & cold shower unit is in the cockpit. The diesel is a Universal 3 cylinder XPS-25 of 23 horsepower with 1,250 hours. It has a rebuilt alternator, new raw water pump, new cooling pump, new fuel hoses and most water hoses. The engine coupler, shaft, cutlass bearing, and stuffing box with hose were replaced in 2020. The fuel tank was replaced also. For navigation there is a 9 inch Garmin Echomap 94SV GPS with depth display and the original Richie compass at the helm. The Raymarine EVO 100 autopilot was new in 2020 also and is connected to the GPS. In the cockpit is a Standard Horizon remote microphone connected to the Standard Horizon GX-1800 with GPS in the salon.
