Catalina 36

SOUTHERN CROSS is a wonderful classic design that has been well maintained and sailed for more than 25 years by the same family. It is in very good condition with all of the equipment and sails to offer a new owner a quality San Francisco Bay sailing lifestyle. Cruise outs with the yacht club, exploring the Delta or daysailing the Bay, this sailboat can get you sailing tomorrow.

With almost 2,000 hulls launched, this is one of the most popular 36 foot sailboats ever built, and a quick inspection makes it easy to understand why: they are well-designed and well-built in the U.S. by one of the most successful sailboat builders in the world, are very spacious (both above and below deck), easy and fun to sail, even short-handed, and are equally at home racing, daysailing or cruising. Cruising World says the Catalina 36 is "a happy blend of conservative, medium-displacement cruising logic and spry one-design racing potential".

Note that there is an active Catalina 36 Owner's Association, with their own web site with much useful information available on the Web at catalina36.org.
