1995 Catalina 250 Water Ballast Centerboard Trailerable Cruiser Sailboat

Description:

This Catalina 250 water ballast model incorporates the best features of a trailerable water ballast boat with Catalina’s renown comfortable interior and a big boat cockpit. New main and jib sails from Bay Sails in 2018 but lightly used. The interior provides comfortable seating for 4 in the U-shaped settee which easily converts into a spacious double berth forward with opening hatch. There is also a double berth aft. The enclosed head provides privacy and has an opening port, oversized portable head, sink and vanity as well as a hanging locker. The cockpit is spacious with comfortable seating for 5. It sports a steering column with a stainless steel wheel, all lines led to the cockpit and four self-tailing chrome winches (two on cabin top and two at the helm) for ease of use in single handling. This boat has been well maintained and updated and is a one owner boat. Most lighting has been converted to LEDs inside and running lights. This boat is easy to sail with a swing keel (1’9” depth when raised, 6’ when deployed) and a rudder that can be swung out of the water by removing two wing nuts … great for getting free when grounded or for beaching if desired. The bottom has been finished with an Interlux waterproof finish and anti-fouling bottom paint … ideal for maintaining in a slip. The engine is a Honda 9.9 electric start with very low hours, new in 2015, for easy starting for captain and crew. Comes with a mast stepping system that makes it easier to raise and lower the mast, even while on the water.
