This 1995 Catalina 400 offers proven bluewater-capable performance in a spacious, owner-friendly package, backed by a steady program of upgrades over the past several years that leave her ready to cruise with confidence. Catalina’s 400 remains a favorite in this size range for its combination of a comfortable, easily-handled sail plan, a genuinely livable interior, and the build quality Catalina is known for — and this example has been kept current with the systems that matter most.
Recent investment has focused on the electronics package, with a modern B&G chartplotter, updated instrumentation, and upgraded communication and navigation systems installed to bring the helm in line with current standards — a meaningful step up from the boat’s original factory setup. Beyond electronics, the owner has continued to reinvest in the vessel over the years, addressing rigging, canvas, ground tackle, and mechanical systems as needed to keep her sailing-ready and reduce the punch list for the next owner.
Down below, the 400’s signature layout delivers standout interior volume for her length, with a private aft cabin, a well-appointed galley, and a saloon that comfortably accommodates both coastal cruising and extended time aboard. On deck, she retains the practical, well-thought-out cockpit and sail-handling arrangement that made the 400 a benchmark in her class.
Highlights:
- Upgraded electronics package — chartplotter, instruments, and navigation/communication equipment updated over recent years
- Ongoing maintenance and systems upgrades (rigging, canvas, ground tackle, and mechanical) performed as part of a consistent care program
- Spacious owner’s-version two-cabin interior layout typical of the 400
- Auxiliary diesel power — Westerbeke 42HP, 875 hours
