Beautiful 2002 Catalina 250 Sailboat, 2017 6 HP Tohatsu motor with charging, Ray Marine Auto Pilot, wheel steering with wwireles remote, self-tailing winches, Lazy Jack, winged keel, Roller furling jib and main sail (both in good condition). Galley has a propane stove and sink with foot pump. Water tank holds 12 gallons; Marine head has pressure water and a 12 gallon holding tank. Heated water lines for the winter. Fresh water boat. Very Clean. Other amenities include Pop Top tent, biminy, cockpit cushions, cruising spinnaker, propane outdoor heated shower, anchor, remote … perfect for a sunset dinner cruise. All lines are in good condition. All lights working. Radio does not work. Comfortably sleeps 2 adults in the aft cabin and 1-2 in the V-birth. Has been used as an air bnb for the past several months and is in beautiful condition. It’s turn key and ready to be sailed to its new home (Does not come with a trailer.) Can also stay docked at the marina in downtown Chattanooga, or can be sold as an air bnb and rented from its current location! This 25 foot sailboat is ideal for camping or for sailing. Named Ruah, meaning “breath of life.”
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)
Wing Keel draft: 3.42’/1.04m
