Seller's Description
1982 Catalina Yachts 25’ sailboat. She has a fixed keel with a listed 4’ draft. 9.9 hp Mercury four stroke, included (Runs perfectly, no smoke when running at full throttle) -Will push the hull at 5.5-6 knots depending on how rough the seas are. Main sail and roller furling in great condition (no rips/tears) This is a great boat. One of the most popular of it’s time. Ready to overnight or day sail It sleeps at least 5 adults, and a few children. I have owned her for 5 years, I no longer live in Cape Coral so I am selling. The boat is dry, no leaks. The custom cover keeps the boat bone dry.
Equipment: Too many extras to list but, I will try. Included: Simrad Auto pilot GPS Sirius Satellite radio (With lifetime subscription) Bosuns Chair Anchor and chain Pressure Washer (in Port Locker) Kitchen items (Plates, cups, bowls, utensils…) TV (pictured) and digital TV Antenna (receives 30 channels) Replacement lights (New to be installed) (Mast head, side lights, spreader lights, stern light….) Several 50’ spools of Ancor Marine Grade Duplex and Triplex Wire. (probably 250 feet). New Stereo and upgraded speakers E Pirb Flares Back-up passenger life jackets (2 adult and one child) Dehumidifier and condensate pump Upgraded electric bilge pump with internal float First aid kit/tackle box Fire extinguisher (in port locker) * The original dining table and forward berth curtain are in the forward berth intact and can be put back in pace easily. * Companionway boards have been replaced with composite deck boards that will last forever.
I do NOT have a trailer. I am willing to give some lessons with purchase at no cost. *I have replaced several of the cabin lights with newer light fixtures.

Calculations

7.1 kn
Classic: 5.87 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
21.5
>20: high performance
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
30.5
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
187.2
100-200: light
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
11.4
<20: lightweight racing boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.6
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
