Allright! I am selling my beloved Pelikan 2, and believe me: it is the best maintained Catalina 30 mark I or mark II on the market. It is truly in pristine condition.
It comes fully loaded (and I mean it) with everything you can imagine (except dinghy/outboard/davits), and more. This is a turn-key, come aboard and sail away boat!

The asking price is $34,900.

Below is a list of features. For those interested, there is also
- a 15 minutes video on Youtube of a complete walktrough of Pelikan 2 (taken November 2014, except for the sailing passage part at the very end, that was last year

video

- hundreds of HD pictures of everything you might want to see on the boat: ask me!
- a log history, and receipts from DAY 1: ask me!

This boat had only 2 owners, over $100,000 put in in upgrades and maintenance, and nothing is original except for the hull itself. It is truly worth a look.

Here it comes:

General Description of the vessel

This is a catalina 30 Mark I from 1983, tall rig, Hull #3022.
Dimensions: lenght LOA 29'11" (+2' bowsprit), vertical clearance 48', draft 5'1" beam 10'10". Displacement 10,200lbs.
This is the most successful production sailboat design ever. Amazing sailing abilities for a heavy cruiser (I won several races! can cruise at 6.5kts comfortably), great livability and space (6'2" vertical clearance inside throughout and 6'1" clearance in cockpit, you can stand up straight everywhere!), sleeps up to 7, huge V-berth, huge cabin, tons of storage space... way bigger inside than most boats under 40' !
