Black Pearl: A 1982 Catalina 38 – A Classic Almost Restored!
This week, join me as I explore a 1982 sailboat in the chilly Maine winter! It's a great example of boat life in the off-season! Meet Black Pearl, a stunning 1982 Catalina 38 Masthead Sloop designed by Sparkman & Stephens/Butler. This timeless classic, located on the hard in Monmouth, Maine, has undergone significant restoration but still awaits your finishing touch to bring her back to her full glory. A perfect DIY candidate - so with a little sweat equity she would be ready to go. And now, at $16,900 (down from $29,000), it's time to strike! Canadian Ken had to sit this one out - it was even too cold for him.
Highlights of her restoration journey:
✅ Freshly painted hull and topsides with Petit ECO Hydrocoat and AwlGrip Top Coat.
✅ Upgraded cherry electrical panel with Blue Sea Breaker assembly.
✅ Beautiful interior brightwork—90% complete with six coats of varnish!
✅ Refurbished sails, new teak and holly flooring, and updated navigation gear.
Powered by a reliable 25 HP Universal diesel, she also features:
🧭 Edson pedestal steering
🧭 Raymarine autopilot
🧭 Garmin GPS Map/Radar with updated software
With interior wiring and some exterior brightwork still to be completed, Black Pearl is perfect for someone looking to finish a project with serious potential. A 2023 survey is available for serious buyers.
