INTRODUCTION

Catalina first began building yachts in 1969 and immediately made their mark on the cruising world with the innovations of designer Frank Butler. Over the following five decades, Catalina has produced a number of outstanding yachts, winning accolades and industry awards thanks to their quality and continued innovation. The Catalina 36 has become a staple line from Catalina, with over 3,000 built since 1982 when the original 36 MK I was introduced to the market. In 1995, the 36MK II hit the market with a better resin construction, easier access to the head from the v-berth via a second door, and the aft cabin and cockpit were made more spacious thanks to the MKII’s beamier stern.

WESTWIND is a great example of all that the Catalina 36 MK II has to offer. Sailed locally on the Chesapeake, her bright interior offers plenty of natural light and ventilation for the two cabin, one head layout.

DAVE & ERIN'S RATING

When we travel with clients FAR out of town for yachts, we don't like surprises when I get there. It's embarrassing for us and can make for an expensive trip. With that in mind, we'd like to share our rating of various systems on the boat so you'll be as informed as possible before you come for a visit. Our rating system is on a 1-10 scale with 10 being 'perfect' (in OUR opinion). Please view this list as a GUIDE only. Everyone's idea of good and bad can vary quite a bit. Our goal in doing this is to help you reach a comfort level with the boat before you invest time and energy to come and see it. We'll summarize by saying that this appears to be an excellent yacht worthy of serious consideration.

Beyond telling you what’s great about a yacht, don’t you also want to know what it needs next? Every yacht, no matter how turnkey, needs something. Every owner has next year’s list of ‘to-do’s, right? We’ll also include in this section what Erin and I think the boat could use to take her from nearly perfect to ‘voyage-ready’ for your next adventure.

Overall Rating: 8.0/10

Very well maintained and thoughtfully updated, the hull both above and below the waterline is in excellent shape. The overall layout of the boat, both above and below decks, is really well configured for long range cruising as well as living aboard for days long or multi-week trips. Catalina makes a great cockpit with long benches for lounging, great access to both helm and primary winches during short-handed sailing. Visibility is excellent from the helm. The C36 is one of Catalina’s best and longest running models. Stepping aboard, it’s clear these owners have been very conscientious and have kept up with maintenance as required. She accelerates well in light air and keeps her composure as the wind builds. We took her out for a shake-down cruise and were very impressed with both her performance and condition.

Exterior: 8.0/10

Having cruised extensively ourselves, we’re looking for several ‘zones’ of success in a sailing yacht. The most important space is the cockpit and on deck because that’s where we plan to spend the most time.   The cockpit on Westwind is deep and comfortable. The coamings are tall and sturdy for good bracing while healed, providing excellent comfort and safety when healed over. Movement into and out of the cockpit to the decks or down below is easy even in rough seas. The hatch opening to spaces below is large enough that when you and crew are both above and below decks, you’re well within sight and earshot of each other at all times. For entertaining, guests can be both in and out of the boat and still feel together. EVERYTHING you need to manage the boat underway is right at your fingertips or just a step or two away -- critical characteristics for extended cruising and time aboard

• Rigged for single handed sailing
• Comfortable protected cockpit with easy access to gear and decks
• Wide fiberglass decks with great access to rig and systems on deck
• Exterior canvas all in very good shape
• Exterior canvas in good shape – should last for a good while yet
• Sails are original and in good shape but are a bit stretched (have been removed and stored indoors every winter to extend life)

Interior: 8.5/10

Catalina is really well known for spacious interiors that just work. Berths are easy to access. The galley has ample cabinet space and storage. The main salon seats several people comfortably. There’s plenty of natural light, great ventilation, and easy access to interior mechanical systems.

• Inviting salon seats a bunch of people and is open to the chef’s galley        
• Storage is available everywhere you look
• Large opening hatches great ventilation and good natural lighting throughout the boat
• Engine access is incredible (the engine cover can be completely removed for 360 degree access to engine and transmission)

Electronics/Electrical Systems: 7.5/10

Nicely laid out, and efficiently installed, Westwind’s systems cover all the basics. The Garmin chart plotter at the helm is bright and ergonomically friendly (as all Garmins are). The Raymarine wheel autopilot worked smoothly in some choppy seas during our test run.

• All the necessary gear is at the helm where you need it: chart, autopilot, depth, speed.
• Though completely functional, the chart plotter could be updated and enlarged.
• No wind instrument (though there’s a windex at the top of the mast)

Engine Room: 8.5/10 (visual inspection only)

Awesome access! Universal diesel has been regularly maintained. Relatively low hours for her vintage. Fuel injectors were serviced recently. Owner has constantly maintained engine and has supporting service records.

Galley/Head Systems: 8.5/10

I’m a chef and this is chef’s galley for sure. Great counter space. Fantastic fridge space. Storage compartments and spaces are thoughtfully laid out for maximum efficiency and DEEP. We like that the galley is out of the way of passage through the yacht. The chef does not impede traffic flow through the boat. The head is smartly configured and easy to use.

Rig & Sails: 7.5/10

Sails in very good condition and should have some years of life left. For you performance sailors, you might want to update them. Dacron cruising sails stretch a bit over time and you lose a little performance.   They are removed each season, examined/serviced at a loft and stored indoors for 6 months out of the year. Remember that these sails have never left the Chesapeake Bay so they’ve had a very gentle life thus far. We easily accelerated up into the 6-7 knot range in just over 10 knots of wind, a testament to Catalina’s sail plan and rig configuration.

INTERIOR LAYOUT:

Stepping down the centerline companionway hatch, you enter the spacious main salon of the Catalina 36 MK II with a gourmet galley to port, a navigation station to starboard and a comfortable main salon, perfect for relaxing after a fun day of sailing.  The L-shaped galley offers plenty of space for food prep and storage while the U-shaped port settee comfortably seats 4 for a meal.  Two comfortable individual settees to starboard have a cocktail table between them that can be lowered for additional seating.  A large head forward of the main salon bulkhead has dual access from the salon and the forward v-berth cabin.  The double berth aft cabin can be accessed to the starboard of the companionway hatch.

There is a large hanging locker to starboard along with three pullout drawers and a hinged cabinet for even more storage. Reverse-cycle air conditioning allows you to close off the cabin and cool off after a warm summer day of sailing. The current owners have added a 12v outlet below one of the two bronze reading lights so you can charge your devices from bed.

HEAD:

The head of the Catalina 36 seems like it is the head of a yacht ten feet larger. Located forward of the main salon bulkhead to port, it is very spacious but does not impede on the design of the salon and living spaces of the interior. As appropriate for the wet environment, it’s a fiberglass space so it’s very easy to keep clean. It’s a function space with a designated shower seat, ample storage, and plenty of ventilation and natural light with two opening ports. The head also has walk-through access to the forward cabin.

COCKPIT:

Face the facts…the cockpit is the lifeblood of any fine cruising yacht. This is where you spend 90% of your time onboard. You need comfort, convenience, and easy access to all the yacht’s systems for smooth and safe sailing. Catalina has mastered the sailing cockpit. With over five foot long cockpit seating and a beamy stern, the Catalina 36 MK II cockpit offers the perfect space for comfortable cruising and entertaining. Long benches and seat backs are perfectly angled for comfort when heeled during an athletic day of sailing. They’re also long and wide enough to be great for lounging under the stars on warm summer nights. The cockpit table is large and can support a full meal at anchor or snacking under way. Everything you need to sail the boat, single-handed or with crew is right at your fingertips without leaving the cockpit. The Garmin GPSmap 541s chart plotter is well located in a NavPod at the helm. Mounted above the chart plotter in a navpod are the Raytheon ST60 speed and depth instruments as well as the ST4000+ autopilot control.   With minor help from the autopilot, you barely have to leave the helm to sail this boat. The primary winches are within easy reach of the helm. Carrying so much beam aft, Catalina has perfected the swim platform area of their yachts. Wide, open, and easy to access, this space has become an integral part of your time at anchor. WESTWIND also features a dodger and bimini for shade and protection from weather under way or on the hook. Cockpit cushions provide added comfort. Two stern rail cockpit seats also offer a comfortable perch and additional seating.
