About
A bigger sister to the C22 and a step-up trailerable cruiser, the Catalina 25 added real standing headroom and a usable enclosed head while staying ramp-launchable with the swing-keel option. More than 6,000 built between 1976 and 1991. A common first "real" cruiser and still one of the most active racing classes on inland lakes.
