Price - <b>$4600 PRICE REDUCED - MAKE OFFER</b>. I may be able to help with transporting it. Email me through the link. If that doesn't work I will post email.

Trailer was purchased new in 2010. I got tired of raising my mast each time I wanted to go sailing and so I put my boat on a slip and don't use the trailer enough to keep it.

I drove the trailer roughly 650 miles (300 unloaded) to go get the trailer and my boat when I bought both. Then I have driven probably another 100 miles total on half a dozen trips back and forth from storage to ramp.

Most of us know that coming across a used C25 trailer - is rare. Finding a 2 year old trailer, galvanized and with dual axle brakes is a <i>real</i> find. Someone is going to get a great trailer!

Good luck!

I have a 25 catalina wing keel and started to look around for a trailer.
What is the trailer designed to fit... a swing keel or wing?

is there any extention to lower the mast or do you have a trick to do that with the trailer?

The trailer looks like it would handle a swing or wing keel easily. For a wing keel, I think I would add another keel support board over the two in the pictures and adjust the pad heights accordingly.
For raising and lowering the mast, make an A-frame out of rigid electrical conduit a la Davy J's You Tube video. I did, and it was very easy to do. works great, too.

Setup for Wing currently. There are steel members under the 2x6 keel boards.

I used a mast-up mast stepper (Catalina direct sells)to hold the mast at the stern and then made an a-frame out of 1 1/2" conduit to assist in stepping the mast. I plan to keep these components so when I pull the boat I can self step the mast for misc. repairs. Mast stepping for me is unrelated to the trailer (IOW there is nothing on the trailer that helps in mast stepping).
