1998 Catalina 36 MkII

This Catalina MkII is the high performance model that has a few add ons for racing. One of the additional options are jib tracks that are adjustable under load with lines from the cockpit. This tweaking of the jib sheeting angle can be used to get the proper jib shape when reefing the jib by moving the car forward without having to luff the sail, test, luff and test until the right shape is acquired. There is also a downhaul guy for a spinnaker installed with a line led back to the cockpit. This rig is set up with a rigid vang used to improve sail shape but also to support the boom from falling should the topping lift break. The prop has also been changed out with a folding prop for additional sailing efficiency and to avoid wrapping the prop in crab trap lines.
