Catalina 25, 1984 Besame Mucho is one of the nicest Catalina swing keel 25’s and most visible sailboat on Lake Travis at night! . So…what sets this boat stand apart from most others? EXTERIOR: Deck has a pop up top All running rigging comes back to cockpit for easy handling. Makes solo handling great! Bow lights have an additional 3’ green and red LED strips mounted on the side for upmost visibility that can be seen from a mile away at night! There is additional 6’ blue vertical LED strip mounted on front of the mast that reflects onto the jib to give it that awesome ghostly look at night! (It’s on a separate circuit (see pics) for greater visibility). Bimini top can be unzipped in middle and folded back to let sunlight in to work on that tan 100% Hank-on jib with two large see thru windows to give better visibility while sailing Mainsail in good shape LED stern lights Mainsail cover and jib bag are in great shape
INTERIOR:
The dark blue/ white striped upholstery looks fantastic! This boat is very clean both inside and out. (see pics) 6 new LED dome interior lights Garmin Depth/fish finder 2 batteries (1) dedicated solely to electric start motor (1) to interior and exterior lights ALL LED Power charger included Berth in bow has extra 3” memory foam underneath original cushions for added comfort Separate portable potty compartment for privacy Plenty of storage New vinyl flooring recently installed.. giving that old weather sea wood look (see pics) Automatic bilge pump New Bluetooth Boss radio with two internal speakers Boat fenders and life vests included

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)
The most popular sailboat (in this size range) ever built in the US.
