1997 Catalina 380
Description
CHINOOK WIND — A Catalina 380 Ready to Cruise
CHINOOK WIND is an exceptional example of the highly regarded Catalina 380, offering the combination of comfort, performance, easy handling, and livability that has made this model a favorite among cruising sailors. Most importantly, she has been extremely well maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, making her an outstanding choice for the sailor looking for a turn-key cruising yacht without the expense and uncertainty of bringing an older boat up to cruising standards.
Her equipment and recent upgrades demonstrate a clear commitment to keeping her current, comfortable, and ready to go. She features new Raymarine electronics, including a Raymarine autopilot, providing modern navigation capabilities and confidence when cruising. A bow thruster makes maneuvering in tight marinas and docking situations remarkably easier—an especially valuable feature for short-handed cruising.
Additional recent improvements include a new refrigerator installed in 2024, new running rigging, and new mattresses, enhancing both her functionality and onboard comfort. The package is further complemented by davits and a RIB tender with an air bottom and 5 HP outboard, giving you everything needed to explore beyond the mothership once you've reached your destination.
The Catalina 380's design is particularly well suited to cruising. She provides a spacious, comfortable interior, a practical cockpit, excellent storage, and the kind of dependable sailing characteristics that allow owners to enjoy everything from weekend escapes to extended cruising. Her manageable size makes her approachable for a couple, while her thoughtful layout provides plenty of room for family and guests.
A Turn-Key Cruising Package
What makes CHINOOK WIND particularly compelling is the combination of her proven Catalina pedigree, exceptional maintenance history, bow thruster, updated electronics, recent equipment upgrades, and complete tender package. Rather than purchasing an older cruising boat and immediately facing a long list of upgrades, her next owner can concentrate on planning where to go.
