Perfect $20,000 Sailboat (Catalina 30 Refit on a Budget) - Ep 358 - Lady K Sailing

Could you really live on a sailboat for just $20,000? In this episode, we’re building the perfect budget cruiser — the legendary Catalina 30 — and transforming it into a self-sufficient liveaboard for under twenty grand. We’re adding 800 watts of solar power, a 300 amp-hour lithium battery, fixing all the classic Catalina leaks, and finding used sails that still have plenty of miles left in them. It’s the affordable dream setup that proves you don’t need a million dollars to live on the water — just a bit of passion and a lot of butyl tape. Join me as I break down what to buy, what to fix first, and how to make a classic Catalina 30 into the perfect off-grid tiny home on the sea. The mission here at Lady K Sailing has always been to get more people sailing, more easily — and I couldn’t do it without the patrons who make these videos possible.
