Production model
Catalina 250
Built by Catalina Yachts
A 25 ft masthead sloop, built from 1995. She carries 8 ft 6 in beam, 5 ft draft and 4,200 lb displacement. Hull form is fin with a transom-hung rudder.
A water-ballasted trailerable: the ballast is pumped out for the road and flooded on the ramp, which keeps the towing weight down. Catalina have built in California and Florida since 1969 and are the largest American sailboat builder. Their boats are made in big numbers to a sensible price, which means parts, sails and owner knowledge are all easy to find. The figures below come from owners who logged work on this boat here.
