Tranquility a Shoal Draft, Fresh Water Catalina 38 S&S Design. Sail, Sailboat Sail boat sailingintotranquility.com A great Article on this design: yachtworld.com/research/catalina-38-love-story-used-sailboat-yes Data Here: sailboatdata.com/sailboat/catalina-38

If you’re familiar with the Sparkman Stevens Swan this Hull design will be familiar. The hull is a tumblehome design with a wine stem transom. The Sparkman Stevens Yankee design was purchased by Catalina for the purpose of competing in the congressional Cup Race. This hull design Is quite unique reminds me of the Sailing frigates of old. Low slung with a rounded freeboard area. The stern view will help to demonstrate this. The result is a very nice ride. While my Friends boats are bashing through the waves Tranquility is gliding along Pushing the spray outboard. In a fresh breeze Tranquility balances nicely with Furler deployed headsail only. Cruising comfortably at around 6 KTS. The furling system is well tuned I have no problems furling in a tach with winds blowing between 30-40 KTS.

Accommodations: Tranquility will accommodate 7 persons. Forward double berth (Master). Salon Drop the table move the cushions wala you have another double. Starboard Sea Bunk This is a bench single designed as a sea bunk. And last but not least starboard aft berth. Also a double also makes a great storage area aka the garage.

The Saloon area Dining area for you lubber’s. This is a great place to have the neighbors over for a visit. On a hot day with the AC cranked up you would be amazed at how many we can accommodate.

Equipment: The inboard Diesel engine is Westerbeke 5424, Universal refers to this as an M30 / Kubota D-1101 Most parts with the exception of marine cooling system can be purchased from Kubota tractor dealer much less expensive than universal or Westerbeke. Example Marine alternator 865.00 I I paid 124.00 for the same part. this is a 3 Cylinder Diesel engine. Burns clean, uses about 1/2 Gallon HR - at 4kts. Approximately 1 GPH at 7kts. The engine has a pressure pump that brings fuel from Tank via Racor separator. Separator filter was changed last year a spare is provided. Alternator was replaced last year. Engine Oil every other month. Fuel gauge sending unit replaced last year. Cooling is via heat exchanger it has two water pumps one for the closed system (Antifreeze). Fresh water pump which drives water from through hull to the heat exchanger then overboard. The Exhaust pipe was changed recently this is a galvanized pipe and know too corrode over time. The exhaust rises vertically from the exhaust flange up to an Aluminum part which injects water into the exhaust. Tranquility has a well if not beautifully insulated ice box. This box is fairly large for boats of this size. Access is via top doors. The onboard AGM batteries with solar power will provide for operation of all systems with full batteries at the end of the day. The cabin has 3 DC Fans but I generally run the 110 volt fans via the included 2000 watt pure signwave power inverter. I often work from the boat and I can say it is great to be able to heave to. Get out the MacBook Pro and go to work. with the combination of WiFi and Cell booster I am always in range. College Football underway is not a problem. Thank you Youtube TV! ok what else lets see Back at the dock after a long day of sailing. Plug in the power turn on the 16K Marine Air and Relax! This unit is outstanding! Heats and Cools. Does the boat have a generator NO. I do have a Honda 2200i that I have used in the past but not powerful enough to pull the AC. Batteries Power the fans so since adding solar I don’t carry the generator around. If you like AC when not pier side I recommend the Generac GP3000i about a grand. I have made a space for this under the port lazaretto. Everything you ever wanted to know about the Catalina 38 https://www.catalina38.org/?page_id=75
