My 1978 SR/FK dinette model has a really odd looking shuttered 2/3 height "saloon style" door that swings to port side between the main cabin and head area. It basically blocks off the head when open and provides a little bit of privacy when closed. I've seen numerous pictures of other Cat 25 (even 27) interiors where there appears to be an accordion-type divider. The door appears to be made out of teak and is about the same color as the rest of the woodwork in the boat. I'll get some pictures this weekend and post to the thread or my profile (if I can figure out how to do that!).

Just curious if anybody else has this arrangement (maybe it's a feature of the dinette?) or if a PO did this.

PO, I have taken my doors out of my 82 and my 89 to open the passages up. I use a curtain with three cup hooks; one at the mast support, one to starboard of the opening for the closed position, and one to port for the open position. The curtain spends most of its life open and hardley noticeable, (when closed it goes to the floor and makes females feel more private).

Thanks Frank. Good idea on the curtains, looks like an easy and inexpensive solution. The #@*$ door on my boat is driving me nuts and really needs to go.

I have the original accordian doors and I like them. Also have accordion doors that seperate V-berth from Head.
One of the reasons we decided on the older style C25 VS the new open style 250's was the two sets of accordian doors that allow us to quickly throw stuff forward into the V-berth to make it look like we have things under control on suprise inspections.

If I were of smaller stature I would have been very happy with the stock doors.

We pitched ours while the ink was drying on the title. We have a piece of 3/4 teak ply that is about 2.5 feet wide. I'm thinking of slicing it to size, then again down the center and putting in a double hinged door that would hook flat to the hanging locker when open (halved to still give access...some might know the hanging locker as the bathroom sink) and hooked to the compression plate when closed.

Still in the mental design phase.
