SOLD!! We helped the new owners deliver her to her new home late yesterday. They are great people, new to sailing but extremely enthusiastic, appreciate the boat they have, and I believe they will take good care of Maria T (and vice versa) as they enjoy many adventures underway.

UPDATE: OFFER ACCEPTED. I WILL POST "SOLD" AFTER TRANSACTION COMPLETED...

Overview:
Asking $8900 for a 1987 Catalina 25 wing keel (2'10" draft). Hull number 5695. Off white with light tan molded non-skid, forrest green trim.

Well maintained and upgraded by a professional sailor to be exceptionally safe and comfortable for both day sailing and extended cruising along the coast and offshore to the Channel Islands. She enjoys weekly freshwater wash downs, regular preventative maintenance, and has a huge list of upgrades (see below), most installed in 2011. Her rigging, motor, headsail, and much more are all less than one year old. Full maintenance and sailing logs as well as receipts are available to inspect upon request. Manuals for all systems included with boat. She has been up and down the southern California coast, to Catalina, and the Coronado Islands (photos below). We love this boat but are we are now preparing for a six month voyage so it's time to let her go.

She has a small (few inches) "Catalina smile" on the forward and aft margins of keel. The "smile" (common on Catalinas) was fixed underwater in early 2011 with fiberglass laminates wetted with G/flex epoxy over splashzone and the interior keel sump was reinforced. Fixing the smile is a common do-it-yourself job that usually takes a day or two and is a basic repair even for beginners. A quick search of the Catalina 25 online forum will provide a lot more info on this common repair. We figured we'd wait until she is hauled for bottom paint (in a year or or) and then decide if it's worth replacing the patch. Regardless, the cost of a full comprehensive repair has been factored into the asking price for this boat. In other words, you can choose to just leave the patch and pocket the savings.

Here's a link to a discussion about her on a Catalina 25 owner's forum:

**Two 3hr sailing lessons with a US Sailing certified instructor are included with the purchase of the boat OR she can be delivered to any port from Dana Point south at no extra charge.**

Holy cow! or maybe it should be: Holy mackerel! Somebody is getting one well-found vessel for a great price! Thumbs UP!

Edit: I didn't see it... She appears to be a standard rig, right?

Edit-edit: Right--it's in your signature.

Wow Ryan...that is one of the nicest, well equipped and ready to sail C25's I've seen hit the market. Looks like you've done a TON of work and invested some serious $$$ in 2011 on her.

Someone is gonna get a great boat, ready to go.

Boats like yours, and Cate's "Mysterious", sure show us what they can be.

Nice boat!

You might need to include the new SH VHF/AIS radio with the boat. Once you've registered the MMSI, it's permanently associated with the vessel. You can easily transfer the MMSI to a new owner, but you'd probably need to send the radio back to the manufacturer to erase the MMSI from the radio if you want to move it to a different boat. I'm not saying it's impossible, but may be more trouble and cost than it's worth.

The same might be true of the handheld, if you've registered its MMSI also.

Great boat, Ryan...you've put a lot of care into her. Best to you on your new venture!

OT - can you give a few details about your table mod, e.g., the table top itself? Also what is on the bulkhead on the port side of the table near the top?
thx

Gee Ryan you only had the boat for about 1 1/2 years. You put a lot into it in that time and it looks great but I'm guessing the C25 isn't the blue water boat you really want. May I ask what boat your looking at/for now?

Sure. It was actually done by a previous owner but I reinforced it. Basically there is a strip of wood through-bolted horizontally on the bulkhead. There is a "piano" hinge (continuous hinge) from there to one half of the table top. This lets the table top fold up to the bulkhead. Then there is another half of the table hinged to the other half. (if that makes sense...) It lets the two halves sort of fold together and lay flush.

The support leg is also hinged in a similar manner and has two parts that allow it to fold open to support both table tops. There is a snap (and I added velcro) at the bottom of the support leg so when the table is stowed the leg remains secure.

The small block located on the upper port side of the table has a sliding latch that mates into the female portion imbedded into the table. It helps secure the table but when we're underway we usually leave it down to use as a nav station.

The round bronze thing on the bulkead is a clock / thermometer / hygrometer / barometer.

Does that answer your question?

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

We love the boat. She is PERFECT for southern California. Especially when you consider how low her slip fees, hull cleaning, transient mooring costs, etc are. But you're right a blue water boat is better suited for trips we're working towards like into S America, San Francisco, and possibly Hawaii.

We are not yet seriously looking at one particular boat but when we do it will likely be something in the 33-40' range. Something like an old Cal, Islander, Tartan, etc. We're not really into deep full keel designs like Westsails but certainly respect those designs and appreciate their strengths.

There is a possibility I will be doing some offshore single-handed racing. If so it would likely skew our search towards more like J boats, maybe C&C, etc. (I sometimes work on J120, J105, and J80 so I'm kinda biased...) :)

Hey Ryan,

Great work on the boat and great presentation, very comprehensive. As much as you must enjoy working on boats I'll bet you are looking forward to projects on the next one.

This doesn't amount to a hill of beans - but the draft on our wing is 2'10'.

Ryan, Wow! And double Wow! I'm the color of your sunbrella with envy. Sure wish I had a fraction of your upgrades and replacements. Interested in trade? ;) Thanks for all the great pics though. I've added a few items to my mental list of 'things to do' based on what you've done.

Good luck selling her, and good luck with your new adventure! I hope you continue to hang out with us though. I really enjoyed how you shared your last trip with us and would love to hear about your next boat/future trips.
