Keel

I just bought a 1986 36 Cat. Should the keel be winged? Mine is a shoal keel but wingless.

Hello and welcome to Catalina 36 ownership.

I can’t answer your question from personal knowledge but the 1984 Brochure says the 36 is available with a fin or shoal draft keel.  The 1986 and foreword brochures says the boat is available with either a fin or wing keel.  This leads me to believe that sometime prior to hull #91 the shallow draft keel was not a wing.   Most likely someone will come along with first hand expert knowledge, but unit then I think you’re fine.    Note that some brochures are available for review at the bottom of the community tab above.

Best regards,

Ray
