Catalina Capri 16.5 Excellent condition Capri 16.5 on galvanized trailer. This is a very stable yet fast boat that is easily trailered by a small car and easily rigged in the parking lot. It is easily sailed by a beginner or an experienced crew, the loose footed main combined with an adjustable outhaul, Cunningham and boom vang make sail trim simple and much more effective than most boats in this size range. My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed this boat but with retirement on the not so distant horizon we have decided to move up to a trailerable coastal cruiser that we can spend more time in overnighting. In addition to the standard features shown below I have added or upgraded the following: 1) Collapsible and removable swim boarding ladder for easy access if you need to cool off. 2) A topping lift because I got tired of the boom just dropping to the cockpit floor when dropping the main sail. 3) New halyards and sheets last season. 4) A turnbuckle at the base of the headstay to replace the stock attachment for much better rig tuning than stock. 5) Main sail cover and full mooring cover. 6) Does include the optional motor mount although we never put a motor on it, two paddles worked just fine.
Here is what Catalina says about this boat on their website: (ours is the centerboard model)
The Catalina 16.5 boasts a big roomy cockpit, and large storage locker forward, making for ideal family outings.
The 16.5 is available in two keel designs. The Centerboard model features a powerful sailplan, balanced by the stable hull form and fiberglass centerboard and rudder. Adjustable hiking straps, tiller extension, adjustable outhaul, and sheet bag are all standard equipment.
The Keel model is perfect for storing the boat on a mooring or dock most of the season. A molded-in sealed bilge sump is included. The high aspect keel is cast lead and attached with stainless steel keel bolts.

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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
A fin keel version was introduced a year later.
Later renamed CATALINA 16.5.
