2007 Fixed Wing Keel Catalina 250 This is a great boat and in very good shape. This boat translates really well into a much larger yacht. I normally charter between a 46 and 52 yacht for several weeks out of the year in Mexico, Italy, Belize, etc. So, this boat feels and handles like a larger boat with pretty much the same gear as a larger yacht. But, it is easy to handle and fun to sail. The standing and running rigging are in good condition and the headsail was new two seasons ago. All rigging is run to the cockpit so you can easily single hand this boat in all conditions. It has an electric start Honda 9.9 with electric raise and lower. I replaced the impeller last year. I re-finished the interior teak when I bought the boat 5 years ago and it is still in great condition as we do not use it for overnight excursions. It has solar to charge the battery and the batter is about 2 years old as well. All of the cushions are in great shape exterior and interior. Comes with everything you need to sail away life jackets, safety equipment, etc. The trailer is in great shape as we only use it to haul the boat to and from the lake once per year, about 3 miles each way. The trailer is set up to step the mast so it can be set up with one person. The boat normally sits at the dock for about 4 months out of the year and then is stored indoors the rest of the time as you can see from the pictures.. The lake water is incredibly clear. Look up Crescent Lake Oregon. I am going to put a coat of bottom paint on it. The last time was when I bought the boat 5 years ago.
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
