1985 Catalina 36

1985 Catalina 36 AMICUSOne of the most popular designs by Catalina Yachts, with 1,766 built, the 36 is perfect for cruising to the Chesapeake in the summer, south to Florida in the winter, or for weekends and weeks aboard to escape the daily grind. AMICUS is the Tall Rig, shallower draft wing keel model just right for Eastern NC waters, her current home. She is ideal for a family or couple, and rigged for ease of single-handing. Day sail, cruise, or race, AMICUS is equally suited for the task.  
AMICUS is clean and well maintained as evidenced by the most recent list of updates and maintenance below. Call today to schedule your reservation to see AMICUS. The sellers are motivated and this is the best deal on a Catalina 36 on the U.S. east coast.
