Turnkey, Upgraded, and Ready for the 2025 Season

Scrimshaw is a rare late-model 1993 Catalina 30 affectionately known as the "Mark 2.5" by Catalina insiders. She features the sturdier Mark II hull with the upgraded hardware and finishes typical of the post-1993 Mark III—such as stainless steel cabin-top grab rails. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, she’s a standout example of one of the most popular cruising sailboats ever built.

Located in Noank, CT and USCG-registered, Scrimshaw is in good condition inside and out. She’s fully equipped for immediate enjoyment and includes a long list of upgrades to navigation, canvas, electrical, rigging, and more. A prime floating slip at Spicer’s Marina is also available separately for summer 2025 (negotiable/prorated based on sale date).
