Catalina 25 Sailboat Tour - Should You Buy One? In this complete Catalina 25 sailboat tour, we explore one of the most popular affordable cruising sailboats ever built and explain everything you should know before buying one. We tour the cockpit, deck, rigging, galley, enclosed head, berths, storage and famous Catalina 25 pop-top, while looking at what makes this 25-foot cruiser so practical for new sailors, weekend cruisers and families.
This Catalina 25 review also explains the important differences between the swing keel, fixed fin keel and wing keel versions, along with the standard rig and tall rig. We cover sailing performance, trailerability, outboard size and shaft length, weather helm, deck leaks, standing rigging, rudder problems, keel maintenance, blisters and the hidden trouble spots every buyer should inspect. Should you buy a Catalina 25? A good one can be an affordable, roomy and surprisingly capable cruising sailboat, but choosing the right version and inspecting it carefully can make the difference between a brilliant bargain and a very expensive project.
