Catalina 250, 1996 sailboat for sale water ballasted centerboard keel $12,500
This is a very well-equipped, lightly used, one-owner, fiberglass, masthead rigged sloop used exclusively on the Elephant Butte Lake (fresh water). Stored mast down on the trailer in covered parking between infrequent sails. The sails and most running rigging were always stowed in the cabin out of the elements and are in excellent shape.
Specifications: 25’ LOA, 8.5’ Beam, 1’8” draft centerboard up, 5’9” centerboard down 3,600# displacement with 1,200# of water ballast Roller furling 110% Genoa head sail with Sunbrella UV protecting wrap Jiffy reefing full batten main sail with boom kicker and Sunbrella UV protecting sail cover Large bimini for cockpit shade 1996 Tohatsu 8HP 2-cycle long shank outboard, electric or manual start 3.2 gal portable fuel tank (fuel locker has a 6 gal tank capacity)
Instruments/Electrical: Navico Corus 600 Instruments (Wind, Speed, Depth, & Compass) on a unique removable rotating display panel Shakespeare marine VHF radio New (2019) marine battery stored at home on maintenance charger between sailing seasons
Cabin: Sleeps 4 adults Enclosed head with porta potty and sink Single butane burner stove and stainless sink galley Optional Dual burner stove available for a retrofit – inquire for details 5-gallon polyethylene jug under the galley provides potable water for galley and head sinks. 48 Qt. cooler can be packed at home and fits nicely under the galley
Trailer: Ready to tow tandem axle galvanized trailer with bearing buddies, surge breaks, new (2019) tires and new (2020) hitch. I’ve never had the boat and trailer on a scale but believe the towing weight of a fully provisioned boat is around 4,500# including the ballast. I don’t know the actual tongue weight but it tows flat and comfortably behind our V6 Jeep Grand Cherokee with its class IV hitch and self-leveling air shocks.
Included Equipment: Custom (Sailor’s Tailor, Inc) full-deck cover for trailering and mast up storage/mooring. Two Danforth anchors with lead chains and line Dock Lines and Fenders Anchor/Mooring riding sail Life Jackets, Horseshoe rescue buoy, Rescue rope throw bag Telescoping Boat Hook Flex Solar panel for on-boat battery charge maintenance Propane stainless steel grill attaches to the stern rail Galley Pans and Utensils Owner manuals for boat, trailer, engine, and instruments

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
