25.0' Catalina Yachts Catalina-25

TOTALLY RESTORED in 2017 & 2018

The most popular sailboat (in this size range) ever built in the US. The Catalina-25 has turned out to be one of the most successful small cruising sailboats ever built, with 5,332 boats sold between 1976 and 1990. The fin keel is generally acknowledged to sail close to its rating, at least once the breeze pipes up to 10 knots of so, making it a very stable sailboat in all conditions.

In 2017 SOLO went through a complete rebuild & upgrading of all systems from the bottom of the keel to the Windex at the top of the mast and everything in between at a cost of over $9,000.
