LATEST CAPER - 1979 38' CATALINA YACHTS 38
San Diego California United States
$49,500 USD

Roomy and spacious with 6’ 2" headroom, the Catalina 38 is a comfortable cruiser/racer. Her interior boasts abundant teak paneling and cabinetry with upholstery in excellent condition throughout.

All the way forward is the master V-berth stateroom with a large berth and storage both port and starboard.

Next aft on the port side is the clean and organized head compartment, with marine toilet, sink, shower, custom tiles and new high-end fixtures. Across from the head is the forward storage area with hanging lockers and drawers for clothing and gear.

The main cabin has a long settee on starboard with nice cabinetry and storage shelves outboard. On the port side there is a beautiful custom teak dining table with wraparound seating and more storage outboard. There is a flat-screen TV on the main bulkhead with hidden cables that run to a media shelf. The table can be lowered and there is a custom extension and filler to create a real queen-size berth.

Aft of the seating area on the port side of the companionway there is a U-shaped galley with built in refrigerator/freezer, granite countertops, stove with oven, and double sinks with brand new pull down faucet. There is a flip-up counter extension for when the chef needs some extra room.

Across from the galley is the nav station followed by a generous quarter berth. Below the nav desk is a built-in 16,000 BTU marine air conditioning system to keep the cabin cool and fresh on those hot days.
