2016 Catalina 425 Hull #1 delivery from St. Petersburg to Palmetto, June 26, 2016. The boat obtained theoretical hull speed of 8.4 knots under power at 2900 RPM and sailed on a close reach with an asymmetrical spinnaker at 7.8 knots with 10 knots of wind. Great balance, great speed, great comfort.

How does she heel?
skyway in the back ground , close to fort desoto
that is much too loud. SHIT BOAT
Alex – Thank you for your question. The boat has a displacement of 17,500 pounds and 7000 pounds of lead ballast in a wing keel. The wing configuration places most of the weight over 4′ below the water line. The Ballast to Displacement ratio is 40% compared to 31% on the Beneteau 45. I found the boat did not heal more than about 10 to 12 degrees with spinnaker up on a beam reach with 10 to 12 knots of breeze.
Thanks Jim for your question. The new 2018 model has a base price of $275,000 and a well equipped boat will sell in the range of $400,000.
