The 2001 Catalina 36 MKII is a sailboat that combines style, comfort, cruising, and performance. It is a popular model among sailors who enjoy sailing in various conditions and destinations. 

 Clementine, a 2001 Catalina 36 MKII, was designed by Frank Butler and Gerry Douglas, the founder and chief engineer of Catalina Yachts respectively. They are well-known for creating sailboats that are affordable, easy to maintain, and fun to sail. The 2001 Catalina 36 MKII is one of their most successful designs, with over 2300 units built since its introduction in 1994.

Clementine uses the same hull design and rig as the original Catalina 36, which was launched in 1982. However, she has a larger cockpit, different cabin ports, a walk-through transom, and a new deck and interior design. These changes make the boat more spacious, comfortable, and modern.

The hull of the 2001 Catalina 36 MKII is made of fiberglass with a solid laminate and a vinylester resin barrier coat. It has a wing keel with a spade rudder, which gives it good maneuverability and stability. The ballast is made of lead and weighs 6000 lbs. The displacement of the boat is 13500 lbs, which makes it relatively light for its size.

The rig of the 2001 Catalina 36 MKII is a masthead sloop with a single spreader mast and a boom vang. It has a reported sail area of 555 ft², which provides enough power for moderate to strong winds. The boat has a roller furling genoa and an in-mast furling mainsail. The sails are easy to handle and reef, thanks to the lines that are led aft to the cockpit.

The cockpit of the 2001 Catalina 36 MKII is one of its best features. It is large enough to accommodate up to eight people comfortably. It has a pedestal wheel steering with an instrument pod and a folding table. It also has two large lockers for storage and a walk-through transom with a swim ladder and a shower. The cockpit is protected by a dodger and a bimini top, which provide shade and shelter from the elements.

The interior of the 2001 Catalina 36 MKII is also spacious and comfortable. It can sleep up to seven people in two cabins and the salon. The forward cabin has an air-conditioned V-berth with storage drawers and shelves, and an overhead hatch for ventilation. The aft cabin has an athwartships double berth with hanging lockers and an opening port for ventilation. The salon has a U-shaped dinette that converts to a double berth on the port side, and a settee that converts to a single berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side aft of the dinette. It has a double stainless-steel sink, a three-burner propane stove with oven, a top-loading refrigerator/freezer, and ample storage cabinets and drawers. The head is located on the port side forward of the settee. It has a marine toilet, a sink with vanity, a shower with curtain, and storage lockers. The interior is finished with teak woodwork and upholstery that creates a warm and cozy atmosphere.

 The 2001 Catalina 36 MKII is equipped with a Universal diesel engine that delivers 35 hp. It has a fuel capacity of 25 gallons, which gives it a range of about 150 nautical miles at cruising speed. The engine is located under the companionway steps, where it can be easily accessed for maintenance. Her prop is protected from fouling by the added line cutter. The boat also has an electrical system that consists of two batteries, an alternator, a battery charger, an inverter, shore power outlets, and an AC/DC panel. She has various instruments and electronics that include speed, depth, wind, autopilot, updated Raymarine GPS, VHF radio, stereo system, CD player, speakers, etc.

Clementine is fun to sail, responsive, with good control at the helm. It can handle different wind and sea conditions well. It is also easy to dock and anchor. She has an anchor locker to store her chain attached to the plow anchor hoisted by a windlass. It also has six mooring cleats and four winches for handling the lines.

The 2001 Catalina 36 MKII is not only a great sailboat for cruising and performance sailing. It is also a great sailboat for living aboard or chartering. It has enough space and amenities to make life on board comfortable and enjoyable. It also has enough storage capacity to carry all the necessary gear and supplies for long trips.
