2007 2006 Catalina MkII

What stands out on this MkII is how easy she is to live with day after day. The cockpit is deep and secure, with long benches that actually invite you to stretch out, not just perch. Lines are led cleanly aft, so a short‑handed crew can trim and reef without leaving the helm. Step below and the headroom and beam give the saloon a proper “small apartment” feel rather than a weekend cubby. Ventilation is excellent, with opening ports and hatches that keep the cabins comfortable at anchor. Under sail she’s predictable and balanced, and when you do fire up the Yanmar, the smooth, quiet push adds a lot of confidence in close quarters.

This Catalina MkII is particularly well suited to local conditions where light morning breezes can build into afternoon chop. The generous sail plan keeps her moving when the wind is soft, while the modern underbody and fin keel help her track comfortably when it pipes up. Her roomy cockpit and swim step make day sails with friends, paddleboards, or a tender straightforward. Below, the three‑cabin layout and ample storage work beautifully for extended weekends along the coast or longer seasonal cruises. With dependable auxiliary power and user‑friendly systems, she’s an ideal platform for both new owners and experienced skippers exploring these waters.
