This is a tour of my 1978 Catalina 25 foot sailboat. It is a pretty wonderful sailboat that we trailer all over the western United States. The boat was purchased for $6500 and we have put a fair amount of time and money into it making it the sailboat we always wanted.

This video was recorded as we traveled from Catalina Island to Marina Del Ray. Unfortunately, there was no wind so we had to motor this afternoon. Please feel free to post questions if there are more details you are interested in seeing.

Hey thanks. I just got a 25’ cat. Probably a little older than yours. You gave me great ideas

Absolutely looove your set up! If you run a stiff link from the rudder to the outboard it will solve ur steering issue at low speeds and make your life waaaay easier. I did it on a 33ft contest

Really good job! Love your 25. Way better than a big power yacht.

Hey Greg, we just purchased a Catalina 25 here in Oregon. We have watched your videos prior to buying and liked what you did with yours. We are planning on something similar with ours. But I rewatched this video today and saw your hull number. We own number 1035. Saw yours was 1036. Thought that random fact was worth sharing. Currently, we just have it on the Columbia River for now.

I was just going through YouTube videos because I’m wanting to pick up a 20 to 25 foot sailboat for coastal waters around Florida. I adore your boat, and your use of it. Rock on :)

Thank you for sharing this. I've had a Catalina 27 for over a year now that needs some work and additional customization and this video is giving me ideas now. I think I'm catching that fever again lol! Fair winds bro. Subscribed.
