Cobalt Bluze is a well-cared-for 1995 Catalina 36 MKII in the desirable tall rig and wing keel configuration, offered by her second owner. She has spent her entire life in fresh water on Lake Perry and Lake Michigan, and has been stored indoors and heated.
The Catalina 36 MKII is one of the most successful production cruisers ever built, prized for her comfortable accommodations, easy motion, and proven Universal diesel auxiliary. The MKII update brought a walk-through transom, refined interior joinery, and an improved deck layout. The tall rig adds welcome sail area for the lighter air typical of Great Lakes and inland sailing, while the wing keel keeps her draft manageable for shallower harbors.
Cobalt Bluze is set up for easy shorthanded sailing, with in-mast mainsail furling and a Schaefer headsail roller furler making sail handling straightforward for a couple or a solo skipper. Her canvas package is in fantastic condition and includes a brand-new dodger along with a matching bimini, connector, and cockpit table cover - a turnkey setup ready to enjoy from day one.
Recent investment is significant and well-documented, including new house batteries and lifelines (2024), new main halyard and swivel (2025), and updated fuel lines, starter, and glow plugs (2021-2023). Standing rigging was replaced approximately twelve years ago and the salon sole was refreshed around the same time. The Universal M-35A diesel is well maintained and starts and runs as it should.
She is offered in turnkey, sail-away condition for the 2026 season. Full equipment details below - please contact the listing broker to schedule a showing.
