S/V Starfish is a very special 2005 Catalina 350, having been lovingly cared for by only two dedicated owners in her lifetime.
The first owner, a well known contributor to 'Catalina Mainsheet' magazine, shared his journey with this vessel until selling her in 2018. S/V Starfish first spent her summers sailing the stunning New England coastline. Later she enjoyed the Chesapeake Bay area and beyond during its gorgeous spring and summer seasons, while being hauled and covered (with her own custom cover) every winter, until the owners moved south. S/V Starfish continues to be cared for and maintained by the owner, and is presently enjoying her own private dock in the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina!
3 Things You'll Love Most About This Sailboat:
1) Stability with a 13' beam and all lines leading to the cockpit. She's very easy to single hand!
2) Performance: Under sail is as laid back or aggressive as you want to be, and under engine power is magnificent! The 2005 M35 Universal Diesel Engine only has 1600 hours and sips fuel!!
3) Comfort - She's easy to sail and a joy to liveaboard.
