Updated in 2021 and 2022: Replaced bimini topper, backstay, deck lighting and wiring, starter and wiring for starting system, main and jib halyards, furling line, and added a new chartplotter. Don't let this one get away! Call or email with questions, or make an offer to hold the Catalina! Stock #306814 ***SALE PENDING*** The Venerable Catalina 30 MKII with Universal Diesel - Cruise the Islands or Finish the Great Loop!! The Catalina 30 MKII is a sailor's sailboat designed with features that combine to be uniquely Catalina. The increased sail area of the tall rig leveraged against her long fin keel enhances her able sailing characteristics. Her beautiful design is accented by a teak bowsprit, grab rails, and hatch, and the hallmark Catalina bow and cockpit rail cages. This Catalina 30 has an updated reefing mainsail and genoa sail and the original sails are there for auxiliary use. The autohelm, headsail furler, lazy jacks, and well-positioned self-tailing winches enable single-handed sailing. The huge cabin hatch and wide open cabin space make moving about the Catalina very easy. Two large settees are nicely spaced for the crew to socialize, dine or rest, and give occupants the feel of a much larger yacht. At the ready is the Universal M25XP diesel engine that sips fuel and makes a great motor sailer as well.

1987 Catalina 30 MkII Broker’s comments: The Catalina 30 TR is an excellent racer or cruiser. The TR-Tall Rig is a better performer with an excellent racing record. The self-tailing winches and lines led aft to the cockpit makes for great shorthanded sailing. There’s plenty of space below for extended cruising and a large cockpit for daysailing. Recent varnish and detailing makes her turn key ready for a new owner. Asking only $24,900!

It’s last cruise was recently New York to New Bedford Massachusetts. The "tall rig" model is the rare premium cruising racer model with more sail area for speed, and more headroom for comfort. I founded a non-profit boating organization, and this Catalina is too large for unsupervised novice use. We are selling way under book value. It looks good, as you can see from the photos.
