Overview from around the web 1987 Catalina Wing Keel
Customers appreciate the 1987 Catalina Wing Keel for its sturdy construction and reliable performance
Many highlight its comfortable cockpit and spacious interior, making it ideal for both day sailing and longer cruising. The wing keel design is praised for providing good stability and allowing access to shallower waters without sacrificing sailing capabilities. Overall, owners value its ease of handling, solid build quality, and versatility on the water.
The Biggest Pros and Cons
The 1987 Catalina Wing Keel offers several advantages and some considerations to keep in mind:
Pros
Shallow Draft: The wing keel design allows for a shallower draft compared to traditional fin keels, making it easier to navigate in shallow waters and access more anchorages.
Improved Stability: The wings on the keel help lower the center of gravity, enhancing stability and providing a comfortable sailing experience.
Good Performance: While not a racing boat, the wing keel provides respectable upwind performance and handling for cruising purposes.
Spacious Interior: Catalina Yachts are known for maximizing interior space, and the 1987 model features a comfortable and functional cabin layout ideal for extended trips.
Durability: Built with quality materials typical of Catalina in that era, the boat is durable and reliable with proper maintenance.
Cons
Limited Draft Clearance: Although the wing keel reduces draft, the wings themselves can snag on underwater obstacles or debris more easily than a fin keel.
Performance Trade-offs: The wing keel may not point as high into the wind or perform as quickly as a deeper fin keel, which could be a drawback for sailors seeking higher performance.
Maintenance of Older Model: As a 1987 model, some boats may require updates or repairs to rigging, electronics, or other systems depending on prior care.
Weight Considerations: The keel design adds weight low down, which affects trailering and may require more effort during transport.
Made For
The 1987 Catalina Wing Keel is ideal for sailors seeking a versatile and comfortable cruising sailboat that performs well in shallow waters. Its wing keel design allows for reduced draft, making it perfect for coastal cruising, shallow bays, and areas with limited depth, while still providing good stability and handling. This boat suits both beginners looking for an easy-to-handle vessel and experienced sailors who appreciate a reliable cruiser for weekend trips or extended voyages.
