1988 Catalina 27 tall rig wing keel

A fine example of the most successful and popular production sailboat to date. This turn-key Catalina has all of the features one typically associates with larger boats at an attractive and manageable size. This vessel boasts a reliable diesel inboard, wheel steering with chart plotter, self-tailing winches and new batteries. Her decks feel solid. Down below you'll find standing head room, a nice folding table and a clean dry cabin that lacks any of the old boat smells. 
This tall rig version offers better light air performance and the wing keel allows access to the skinny waters of the Chesapeake and beyond. When it's time to power up, the 14 hp diesel pushes her reliably into headwinds and against the chop while sipping fuel.
Engine was overhauled in 2019, current owner has put in a new alternator, starting and house batteries, and replaced the exhaust elbow prior to his trip up the ICW from Georgia this spring. The engine ran great the whole way. The sails are in good shape and she comes with a like-new inflatable dinghy. 
One nice feature of Catalina sailboats is the ability to order off-the-shelf parts shipped right to your door, even for these vintage models. You'll notice the difference this makes when checking out other boats with deferred maintenance issues.
