This classic 19' Menger Catboat 1991 is for sale and is located in Sedona, Arizona.
Classic lines and a large gaff rig make Ciao Bella a truly beautiful daysailer that is sure to turn the heads of even the most "salty sailors" in the harbor. With her large sail area and broad hull she will clip across the water with ease and deliver a thrill to even the most seasoned of sailors, yet with her simple single sheet rig, lazy jacks, and jiffy reef system she is simplistic enough for single handed sailing and novices alike. For those long weekend cruises she is equiped with a Garmin 431s chartplotter and sounder as well as a Raymarine ST1000 Plus Tiller Pilot, allowing you to set your course and relax while she briskly clips along towards your destination, and when you're tired of beating into the wind her 2011 Nissan 9.8 hp outboard can get you home in a hurry. Her spacious ash trimmed cabin is equally well appointed with new cabin cushions, double berths, v-berth, teak and and holly sole, 12V recepticles, and unique touches such as her bronze cabin lights and classic cat's eye ports. She also has plenty of storage for your crew's gear with seven under berth lockers and two net hammocks!
Ciao Bella is spacious enough to allow you to entertain up to eight adults while maintaining the ease and simplicity of a daysailor. This Menger Catboat 19 is a classic design with unique touches and modern equipment throughout.
To truly understand the beauty that is Ciao Bella you must see her in person as photos simply cannot capture the level of detail and meticulous maintenance that has been put into her!
She is available to be seen by appointment by contacting your listing broker today. Her owner will consider all serious offers.

Manufacturer Provided Description
The Menger Cat comes from honest workboat stock, and shows this by carrying her beam way aft. This means there's plenty of reserve buoyancy so you can utilize the large cockpit without throwing her off her sailing lines. Her generous sail area is workboat style too, so she'll slip along in the lightest of airs. Reef when the wind starts to freshen, but you'll never have to buy or bother with light-air sails. With her fine lines, great sail-carrying ability, and long waterline, she'll give some surprise to larger, more modern yachts.
The yacht style cabin is light and airy with a large hatch, optional opening forward port, and classic bronze cat's eye ports. All interior surfaces are molded fiberglass with smooth gelcoat except for the real ash wainscoting on the cabin sides and the teak and holly sole. Although 19 feet usually makes a diminutive vessel, the Menger Cat is really quite large for her length. There is plenty of storage and a nice homey feeling, even when she's closed up for foul weather. She's big enough to be a real pocket cruiser for a couple, a great weekender for the family, and a very friendly daysailer for eight people. Yet she's still small enough to be easily trailered and can be stored in a garage.
