This 1996 Catalina 36 MkII has been exceptionally well cared for, and the cleanliness is immediately apparent—from the interior joinery and upholstery to the machinery, systems and deck equipment. She presents as a boat that has been maintained consistently rather than hurriedly prepared for sale.
DRAGONFLY combines the attributes that helped make the Catalina 36 one of America’s most successful cruising sailboats: an easily handled sailplan, comfortable two-cabin interior, generous storage, large cockpit, walk-through transom and excellent cruising accommodations. Her shoal-draft wing keel draws approximately 4'5", making her particularly well suited to the Chesapeake, Pamlico Sound, ICW, Bahamas and other shallow-water cruising grounds.
This is also the desirable Tall Rig version, providing additional sail area for improved light-air performance.
The Catalina 36 MkII was introduced in 1994 as an evolution of the very successful Catalina 36, incorporating a larger cockpit, walk-through transom and revised interior and deck arrangement. The design earned Cruising World’s 1995 Boat of the Year award for Best Value – Midsize Cruiser, recognition that helps explain why the model remains so popular on the brokerage market three decades later.
For someone looking for a clean, proven, comfortable cruising sailboat without taking on a major restoration project, DRAGONFLY deserves serious consideration.
The Catalina 36 became one of the company’s defining models because it occupies a particularly useful middle ground: large enough for genuine extended cruising, yet manageable enough for a couple to sail without a large crew.
Catalina introduced the MkII in 1994, retaining the proven concept while revising the deck, cockpit, transom and accommodations. Catalina records show that the MkII received a Cruising World Boat of the Year award in March 1995, while Cruising World lists it specifically as the 1995 Best Value Midsize Cruiser.
The MkII's larger cockpit, walk-through transom and improved aft accommodations made an already successful design even more cruising friendly. Catalina's own specifications list the wing-keel model at approximately 14,100 lb displacement, 6,600 lb ballast and only 4'5" draft.
That combination remains especially attractive for East Coast sailors.
