The Boat

 1980 Catalina 25

Here she is sitting up at Lake Lanier last summer. I bought her in early August of 2003.


This is where all the sailing and lounging is done on the nice days.


This is the view when you first step down into the cabin. In the very back is the v-berth which is where I sleep. Just on the other side of the first bulkhead is where the 'head' is located. Aka toilet.


This was taken while looking out of the 'head'. To the right, you can see the galley, and back to the left is the aft berth. On paper, the aft berth is said to sleep 2. Good luck.


This is officially the galley. While most of the time I cook out in the cockpit using the propane grill, the wooden cutting board lifts up to display a pressurized alcohol stove with 2 burners.


This is what she looks like out of the water with the keel down. Obviously this picture was taken before the hull was painted this January. She's got a swing keel, so it can crank up into the hull allowing for a minimum draft of only about 2'5". When the keel's all the way down it draws closer to 6'.
