Well maintained Catalina 27 ready for sailing with an amazing cabin size and comfort.
This Catalina may only be 27 feet, but it has a lot of room and features of a much larger sailboat.
She has been kept in very good condition and has features such as an inboard motor. but with a tiller that many sailors prefer over a wheel.
The furling jib is a nice addition to the boat that most of her size don't have.
The cockpit is very large and will accommodate 4 adults comfortably but there could be as many as 6 including the Capitan.
Inside the cabin to Port, you will find a dinette large enough for 4 adults, which makes into a bed as well.
On the Starboard side, opposite the dinette, you will find a stove mounted into a large wood countertop with lots of storage, a sink, and an ice box.
Forward of the settee and countertop, is a settee to Port, and a quarter bunk on each side aft of the main cabin.
The ample size V-Berth will accommodate two adults, and just forward of the V-Berth is a head with a manual flush toilet.
