This beautiful and pristine Catalina 36 MKII is equipped with an in-mast furling main and furling foresail. All running rigging controls are led aft to the cockpit making for easy handling. She has a spacious and comfortable main saloon and two private cabins that provide sleep accommodations for up to seven. Her large cockpit could easily accommodate a baseball team!
"Quintessence'" has a wing keel that only draws 4'5" allowing her to go where many fear (think Great Bahama Banks!). The mainsail and genoa are practically new as is the (available) 9'5" Newport dinghy and its 4hp 4 stroke Yamaha engine. Her new swageless standing rigging was installed in 2022. "Quintessence" is ready and eager to take you and your crew to an island paradise that most only dream about or watch endlessly on social media videos!
