1989 Catalina 27 sailboat with Universal 18 HP M3-20 diesel and custom winter cover. This is an excellent boat in need of a good home. One of the last 27s made, built after Catalina redesigned the hatches and switched to an all-fiberglass keel structure (unlike earlier boats that were built with wood in the keel structure and can develop separation in the hull-to-keel joint). Clean interior, solid bulkheads, and solid decks. Regular maintenance each year. Boat includes original owner's manual and other documentation. Currently moored in Winthrop harbor. Selling because I have not been able to use the boat as much as I had hoped. Priced at $7,500 for a quick sale and to reflect the fact that the jib furler is in need of repair or replacement. Serious inquiries only please, as the boat is only accessible by dinghy.
