Catalina 36 'Desiderata III' In-Depth Boat Briefing

Get to know the Catalina 36 'Desiderata III' before your next bareboat charter. Ian MacPherson reviews the systems and operation of the vessel as he would with a client arriving to charter.

She looks like a lovely vessel. A perfect charter yacht to cruise the west coast. Well narrated video Ian.

Thanks, David! She is a lovely vessel. Hopefully, you find this a useful resource as well.

Hi Ian, there are a lot of Canadian vessels in Mexico where I cruised for ten years. We always knew the Canadians, not by the flag but by the cockpit enclosures. Nobody sails in those hot countries with one and it was the first thing they removed after cooking themselves out a few times. 😂😂😂😂😂

Capt. U did a great job👍

[@johnjones-xc2pc]

Very nicely done. Thanks

[@njsarn]

Thanks a bunch for showing the operation in detail. Wealth of knowledge. I'm falling for the C 36 and viewing your video for the 5th time. Where can I buy a fully enclosed Bimini like your's? Thank you.

That moment when he says “The more times you pump that, the cleaner it will be’, right as a little turd come floating up…

Great video!

[@rickg1403]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. I’d love to take a sailing course from this gentleman. He seems very calm , confident , and knowledgeable. Really nice boat as well. I’m assuming it’s part of your charter fleet . Do you ever sell them off?
