Tour of 1986 Catalina 27 Sailboat

[@RichardMauri]

I am now the current owner of this boat. It's been 9 years since this video and the boat is still clean, not quite as pristine but I'm working on it! One thing I first dealt with is the jib halyard that is wrapped around above the furler drum. It's a CDIfurler and there is an internal halyard that is supposed to be connected to a "messenger line". After raising the jib you disconnect the messenger from the halyard; instead the PO either left the messenger in place OR there was a single long not-oem halyard. See it at 2:12

Congrats! Was looking at getting my first boat so I googled "Catalina 27 interior" and here we are. Truly seems like a beautiful and efficient use of space.

this boat is older than me, but they took care of her better than I took care of myself.

Shoot videos in landscape not portrait!

How much did you end up selling it for?

[@BluesTramp]

what is the market price for a boat like this?

[@gregorytimmons4777]

Buying 86 27 foot at the end of August. In good shape but not quite that nice YET. Plus has transom pocket for outboard. No engine inside. No shower, no anchor locker. Just chain locker. Still, it's a very sound, dry boat with lots of good rigging and good sails. Just no electronics and missing stove. Still a good boat for $2,500.

Nice if we could hear the audio over the wind when you were commenting on the stern storage - ever hear of a mic muff?

My god. If your going to use a phone instead of an actual camera, at least flip the damn thing into landscape. Christ. :(

For fucks sake, why do people do this?! I want to turn his TV 90degress to match this crap.

"fresh water flushing head" - really? Seems like a waste of fresh water.

[@jenh.9101]

we have a similar boat and I would say not a waste as it helps with the smell, or lack there of, in my experience and opinion
