Yachts

This 2006 Catalina 350 presents in beautiful, original condition and is a credit to its present owner. The amount onboard for a 35 footer has to be seen to be appreciated. From the generous cockpit moving below the first thing noticed is the headroom which is 2m, that's almost 6'6"! The beam of the Catalina is evident in the warm spacious saloon with clever luxurious lounges that transform onto into several seating and sleeping arrangements. There are 2 cabins, the aft cabin, on the Portside, features a huge athwart ships berth which has an opening hatch immediately ahead of the sleepers' faces for ventilation and a view outside. The cabin in the bow is generous with an ever popular island bed with direct access to the head. The Galley is a complete U shape with plenty of support for the cook, including a stainless grab rail running from floor to ceiling. The fridge is front and top opening ("so you can easily reach the butter and cheese, which always end up on the bottom"). The freezer is standard. The bathroom is ensuite (there is a separate door off the saloon for day use ) and features a separate shower recess with folding glass door. This avoids wetting the whole bathroom and eliminates the need to get changed outside the bathroom. The shower door is less than full height which prevents claustrophobia and keeps air moving around the recess. The toilet is electric, with macerator and holding tank. There are lockers in the transom for messy stuff like garbage or fishing gear, and a bracket for the dinghy's outboard. The transom shower has hot and cold. The below decks layout frees up room under the starboard cockpit seat for a lazarette so deep you will need to climb down inside to clean out the bottom (there is a step). There is room for an inflatable dinghy, and just about anything else. The numbers confirm she should sail well. At 6185kg the Catalina 350 is not heavy; her displacement/ length ratio puts her at the light end of the medium displacement spectrum, and the sail area/ displacement ratio is in line with other production cruisers. The 350's design theme is easy use, a lot of standard equipment and a lot of clever detail design. The list of standard equipment is very long. The result is an extremely comfortable yacht in the habitat sense both down below and while sailing, but it should also be very comfortable to live on for long periods of time. There is a survey available with the boat and a list of repairs and maintenance. Call Paul on Call Seller for more information or inspection.
