Fun but choppy evening. First time putting the smaller day sailer in with chase boat working on some small (motor) boat handling skills. Split crews, switched halfway through evening. Interesting launch/load at this location but teamwork makes the dream work! looking forward to getting our bigger sailboat out soon!!!

1983 Fan-ta-Sea 25’ Catalina Monohull Sailboat
25 ft length • 8 ft beam • 4,500 lbs • Drop keel, NO TRAILER

Powered by a 2001 9.5 HP long shaft Evinrude motor on an electric motor lift. Features a convertible top and spacious layout. Tiller handle may need replacement. Great project cruiser or weekend sailor.

We need to get this boat moved from where it has been stored ASAP. Or if you have a trailer that would fit it, let us know. Ideally we would like to get $900 for the motor which had been rebuilt. Touch base here and I'll get you in touch with someone.
