We are offering for sale our 1988 Catalina 27 Tall-Rig ‘Monomoy’ at a price of $20,500. The tall-rig length overall is about a foot longer than the standard rig and the mast is taller at about 42 feet. This Catalina has the fin keel with a draft of 4’3”, a fixed two blade prop with 14hp inboard diesel, Edson pedestal wheel steering, and separate throttle/shift control on the pedestal. We have spent many wonderful days, weekends, and weeks sailing Monomoy, as evident in our blog posts, and are only selling the vessel to purchase a larger cruiser.
We hauled Monomoy and painted her bottom in March of 2009 (pictures on our blog) with Interlux Micron 66 (4 coats), so the bottom is good for another couple of years. http://sv-monomoy.com/2009/03/shes-done/
When boat shopping, be sure to compare apples to apples. Just a few years older and a boat can be thousands of dollars less, but a few years younger and the value goes the opposite way. Also keep in mind that different year models offer different features.
What you get with Monomoy…
1) 150% Roller Furling Genoa
2) Asymmetrical Spinnaker with Spinnaker Pole
3) 14hp Inboard Universal M18 Diesel
4) Enclosed Head with Electric Toilet, Holding Tank, Deck Pumpout, and Macerator

28) All Coast Guard Required Equipment (5 Adult Life Jackets, Whistle, Flares, Life Sling)
29) Monomoy is a Florida Registered Vessel and formally Coast Guard Documented (easy to re-document)

What you don’t get with Monomoy is the name (and some various personal belongings). The name ‘Monomoy’ was given to the vessel by our son and was named from one of his favorite books as a kid. We will decommission the name properly and will remove the lettering of the name from the stern when a buyer does agree to purchase. It is our intent to rename our next vessel Monomoy. We will be happy to apply new lettering to the Catalina’s stern in the name of the buyer’s choice if the buyer wishes.
Here are some interior photos. The photos showing the lighter colored cushions show the true color of the cushions. The salon settees have blue slip covers over them.

What a gorgeous day!
We headed out of the slip about 10am and sailed over to Flounders at Pensacola Beach. On board today was the usual Ben, Carol, and Blake, but we also had Scot, Laura, and Erika join us.
In an attempt to convert Scot from a powerboater to a sailor, he took the helm.
Everyone enjoyed themselves.
There were many other boats out enjoying the day.
Heading to Bob Sykes Bridge:
John and Joe on Toppsoff cruised up and joined us at Flounders.
After Flounders, Carol and Blake did some goofing off below.
The sunset was perfect.
Ben and Carol enjoyed the view together.
Erika took a nap.
Blake watched a movie.
What a great day!

It was a windy day, but we were sailing!
Ben’s bro-in-law Scot was aboard…
As was Ben’s sis Laura, albeit bundled up…
Ben was in conversation…
Though the seas don’t appear it, the wind was steady at 15knots with gusts to 23 knots, so we furled the jib.
The seas were choppy…
Overall though, no complaints, because it is February and we were sailing!

Technically Blake and Ben sailed Friday afternoon on The Force. The wind was perfect and dolphins even came up near the boat to say hello; it was really cool, but we didn’t have a camera with us.
Saturday we finally got Monomoy out of her slip. The wind started out very lite, but it was still great to be on the bay.
The sails were up!
Blake flexed his muscles in excitement that we were finally sailing.
Pogo just chilled.
Carol even had the chance to wear a bikini!
Here’s a picture of Pensacola from the bay.
Many other sailors had the same idea to get out on the water.
We sailed alongside friends Marlin and Tammy for a bit.
What a great day!

Feb. 6, 2010…
While waiting on the weather to improve for sailing, we went out for a boat ride on our friend’s 42′ Silverton
.
Since there were virtually no other boats on the water, the Coasties didn’t have much else to do, so they boarded us. I took the helm, while Jon (boat owner) was below getting his documentation when I was asked to show the horn works, but it didn’t. A quick change of fuse and we were honking. Jon’s boat ultimately “passed with gold” and the CG were really friendly.
After that experience, we cruised over to Ft. McRee, which is where we like to stay overnight often on the boat. It was vacant, so we pulled right up to the beach and hopped off the bow for some goofing off.
Upon returning to the marina, it was time for some Joe Patti salmon, shrimp, mullet, good booze and friendship.

Wow!!! Sailing on December 31, 2009!
The weather was absolutely perfect for a day sail. We departed the marina around noon and sailed till nearly 5pm.
Aside from Monomoy’s standard crew of Carol, Blake, and Ben, we enjoyed the company of Rudi (Ben’s step-mom), Steve (Ben’s dad), and Brice (Ben’s bro).
The wind and temperature couldn’t have been any better for this time of year as we shared the bay with a few other sailors.
It was quite an enjoyable day that even had the birds inspired.
Happy New Year to Everyone!!

No photos today, but Monomoy did leave the dock.
Steve (Ben’s dad), Brice (Ben’s brother), Ben, and Blake took an afternoon day sail just to cruise about the bay for a bit.
When we first headed out the wind was blowing about 12 knots, but within a short period of time it picked up to 25. We only sailed for about an hour or two before dousing the sails and motoring in.
May have been a short cold sail, but we were sailing in December, so no complaints.

November 28, 2009…
What a great weekend. The weather was supposed to be much better, so we had planned to stay out overnight, but the unpredicted clouds were questionable, so we opted to day sail on Saturday and Sunday.
There were many other boats sailing the bay.
Carol enjoyed herself.
As did Pogo.
Blake, Carol, and Pogo.
Blake hamming it up.
What a gorgeous sunset.

Sunday was supposed to be even better than Saturday, so we headed back out in the morning for several hours of sailing.
Carol relaxed.
Blake hanging out with Private Stock Too in the background.
Private Stock Too sailed up for a chat.
Pogo drank too much too fast and had to lay down.
Cheers.
Carol took the helm for a photo op.
Hard to tell with the zoom lens struggling, but it appeared that Pan Dragon was out of her slip for the day.
Heading back in to the marina we were treated to a dolphin show, but they were so quick moving around it was hard to keep up with them enough for pictures, but we did catch the fin of one just at the bow of a passing powerboat.
It was a great weekend of sailing! Looking forward to next time.
