Catalina 250 Sailboats are Masthead sloops with a transom hung rudder, fixed-wing keel, and a whole lotta fun.
Weighing in at only 4200 lbs, including the 1,050 lbs of ballast, the Catalina 250 heels well in the swell and is easy to single hand, or sail with your crew.
It comes with a Honda 8hp outboard to get you into and out of the slip with ease.
All your friends and crew will easily fit in the huge cockpit to make your days on the water even more fun. And under the stern perch seats are part of the Bose speakers system to make your tuneage a greater experience.
The Sails inventory consists of the main and the roller-furling jib. The Jib is a 110 and brand new.
One of the greatest features of the Catalina 250 is the massive hatch that makes the cabin feel very open and large. A full enclosure of canvas and eisenglass maintains this openness while providing protection from the elements while staying for extended periods aboard.
She’ll comfortably sleep 4 in the V-berth and Aft berth. The galley may be small, but it’s adequate for keeping the crew fed on all your adventures.
The porta-potty in the head is a nice convenience for those days at the island.
If you’re in the market for a simple, fun vessel that’s very capable of extended trips, look no further than this Catalina 250.
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
