The Catalina Yachts 25 is a masthead sloop designed by Frank W. Butler and built by Catalina Yachts from 1976 to 1991, becoming one of the most popular sailboats in its size range ever built in the US.4:12 It measures 7.6 meters LOA with a 2.4-meter beam and 1.2-meter draft, displacing 2063 kg. Variants include a standard rig, a swing keel version, a wing keel version, and a tall rig. Lady K Sailing identifies the Catalina 25 as a suitable, affordable sailboat for full-time living, often selling for under $10,000, and notes its dedicated head, roller furling, and diesel engine as essential features for solo cruisers.1:20 Aboard *Arabella*, Steve and Robin used a Catalina 25 for American Sailing Association (ASA) 101 certification training, practicing man-overboard drills and close-quarters maneuvering.5:43 James Hodge, owner of a Westsail 32, sails a Catalina 25 while his larger boat undergoes refit.7:14 Common issues on older models include the "Catalina Smile," a keel-to-hull joint separation, which Lady K Sailing attributes to water-damaged plywood spacers.7:03
