2006 Catalina 28 MkII - Little Wing
If you've been searching for that rare sweet spot between "effortless to single-hand on a Wednesday after work" and "actually spacious enough to spend a long holiday weekend off-grid," Little Wing is the boat.
The Catalina 28 MkII is widely considered one of Gerry Douglas's best pocket cruiser designs. With a 10' 4" beam, over 6-foot headroom, and a smart aft-cabin layout, she feels and functions more like a 32-footer-while keeping slip fees, maintenance, and handling delightfully manageable.
With only 695 hours on her freshwater-cooled Universal diesel, premium AGM batteries, modern Raymarine touchscreen electronics, and an odor-free, turnkey interior, she is 100% ready for island hops and sunset harbor cruises.
Why You'll Love Her

The Ultimate Hangout Cockpit: Roomy cockpit featuring iconic stern rail observation seats (the best view on the water for golden hour), full Navy Sunbrella dodger and bimini, and a walk-through transom with an integrated swim platform and hot/cold cockpit shower.

Shoal Draft Freedom: With the 3' 10" factory wing keel, you can slip into skinny anchorages and shallow coves without sacrificing upwind performance or stability.

Upgraded Modern Electronics: Navigating is effortless with an upgraded Raymarine Axiom 9" touchscreen chartplotter, Raymarine p70s autopilot, ST60 wind/speed/depth instruments, and a newer Icom IC-M330G VHF radio with built-in GPS and DSC.

Easy, Solo-Friendly Sailing: All lines lead aft to the cockpit, paired with a Dutchman mainsail flaking system, Schaefer roller furling, Garhauer traveler, and Lewmar self-tailing winches.

Clean, Bright, & Odor-Free Interior: Satin-finish teak joinery, molded non-skid sole with teak bilge inserts, upgraded Raritan PHII marine head with a dedicated tank monitor gauge, and zero funky boat odors.
