Seller's Description

* TRANSFERABLE SLIP IN DOWNTOWN FORT LAUDERDALE $500/MONTH*

This 2005 25’ Catalina 250 has everything for an easy day sailing and is ready to sail today. The boat is a great weekender for any beginner or experienced sailor looking to go to sea with friends and family. It is well equipped with a 2023 electric start Honda 9.9 HP 4-stroke outboard, newer tiller pilots, easy-to-fly sails and a 3’ 5” draft able to go most anywhere there are shallow waters.

This vessel does not come with a trailer but can be trailered easily. There have been many new additions to the boat including cockpit cushions, Sunbrella bimini, dock lines, running rigging and recent bottom paint. This little cruiser is ready to go and will offer you lots of fun on the water.

Enter the salon from the center line companionway and down 3 steps and you will find the private head to port with marine toilet, sink, opening port and multiple storage areas. Moving forward are twin settee cushions surrounding the dinette table with lockers under and V-berth forward with an opening hatch. Moving aft to starboard find the galley with storage lockers, 1 burner propane stove top with cutting board cover and sink with hand pump followed by the electrical panel and the aft berth with access to the water ballast, battery, battery charger and holding tank.

The boat sleeps four, with the forward berth and roomy aft berth. The private head has a toilet and sink. The cabin feels surprisingly roomy for a 25’ boat.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.4 kn
Classic: 6.18 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

7.39 knots
Classic formula: 6.18 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.3
16-20: good 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.
16.29
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
25.0
<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

24.99
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
195.1
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
195.12
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
16.7
<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
16.66
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
2.1
>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
2.11
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Wing Keel draft: 3.42’/1.04m
