Owners Comments and Boat History
This vessel was originally purchased by a doctor in North Carolina who owned her for four years and regularly cruised the Bahamas based on his log books. The second owner moved the boat to Lake Texoma, the freshwater lake bordering Oklahoma and Texas, where she remained for approximately twenty years. The third owner also kept the vessel on Lake Texoma before selling her after two years while learning to sail.
We purchased the boat in November 2021 and had her transported to Seabrook, Texas where we updated and prepared her for offshore cruising. In May 2022, we departed Texas and began full-time liveaboard cruising through the Gulf Coast, East Coast of Florida, and the Bahamas, returning annually to Titusville for bottom work and upgrades. In 2025, we sailed her to the Dominican Republic.
As lifelong boaters with experience owning both motor yachts and sailing yachts, this has been one of the most comfortable vessels we have owned. She is easy to sail, comfortable to live aboard, and turns heads everywhere we go. The two-cabin Catalina layout offers tremendous living space, and the years spent in freshwater greatly minimized corrosion. We also updated the vessel’s styling by changing the traditional Catalina blue accents to modern gray tones with updated pinstriping and detailing, giving her a unique and refreshed appearance.
