I thought you guys might have some feedback on them, I have a friend in FL who's looking at buying one. Since it was a Frank Butler boat I thought I'd check here.

Displacement is almost the same as the C25 fixed keel model. Rudder under the hull instead of hanging on the stern. Slightly more sail area than the C25 TR. Probably handles better in the ocean swells than the C25. Probably also had a removable plug in the lazarette (sp?) for an outboard motor, like the Irwin <s>Morgan</s> 24 I raced on back in my college days.

Correction: Irwin 24 not Morgan 24.

I get emails monthly from this guy... http://coronado25partsforsale.blogspot.com/ I bought something from him a while back, can't remember what.

The Coronado is a pretty seaworthy little boat. Dimensions are similar to the Cat 25 tall rig, with a mast head.

I had no idea that it was a Frank Butler design though. I personally like the look... harkens back to a simpler sail plan and design.

That diamond on the main with the letter C is a dead giveaway!

The 'Wiki" articles mention Butler's first company, Wesco Manufacturing. My C-22 trailer had a Wesco label on it, so back in the 70's Butler was building the trailers, too.
