The 1990 Catalina 36 "Dopamine" is a clean, practical, easily handled cruising sailboat perfect for a couple or single-handed sailor. The boat is mild mannered and tracks well, making it suitable for new or experienced sailors. The vessel has two cabins (aft cabin and v-berth) and a single pilot berth to starboard, a spacious cockpit, and a bright salon and settee. The salon's double-dinette and settee can also be converted into additional sleeping spaces. It also has a very functional galley, refrigerator, and forward facing nav station. The sloop rig is simple and efficient with furling headsail. The 35hp Universal M35 diesel runs strong and has less than 1,000 hours. The boat is also equipped with a dodger, bimini, mainsail stack-pack, and canvas binnacle/ helm cover. It also includes a roll-up Achilles dinghy with aluminum floor and 5hp outboard engine with engine hoist and outboard mounting block. Recent survey from July 2024 available to serious buyers.
