I am looking for a late 80's catalina 25 swing or wing keel with trailer.

I know you're looking for a late '80s vintage but I'd take a good look at this one if I were you.

John R., that's a fin--not the best for trailering--with no trailer... (It is, however, the best for <i>sailing</i>.)

Hey John,
Check out boats.com.
A while back there was an 89 wing listed in California.
But I'm sure you already thought of that.
Good luck.

Cloudveil... That name is on my ski jacket! Does that qualify me for winter crew?

Hi Dave - Cloudveil was the name on my Endeavour 42 - since sold,
but kept the name, it's kinda personal from my US Ski Team days,
but that's another story. JohnW.

I picked up the 87 wing mentioned.

Another piece of advice I received which proved invaluable was:
Make sure you have all your finances and are ready to pull the trigger when the right boat comes around.
My experience is 87's and older that are in great shape with trailers sell within a very short period of time.
I contacted the PO within hours of the boat hitting the market and made arrangements to see the boat ASAP.
The PO told me my timing was very good as he received numerous phone and emails.
I am very lucky as this is just the boat I wanted (there's a Bruce on the bow and a Danforth anchor on the stern!) and the PO has offered to help me set her up the first time.
Catalina owners are the bomb!
She is being delivered to her new home today.
