Does anyone have dimensions on the wing keel for an '87 C25? Specifically, the folks who are scheduled to haul us with their hydraulic trailer (we have always used a travel lift in the past) need to know the maximum width of wing portion. They can't handle wider than 26 inches.

Thanks in advance!

Boy Chris, you're close I'm in the water still but recollections have me thinking that it's about what you're looking for.

Check your email Chris. I have some pictures and a hair-brained idea, Tom. width at the front is 24 in. Aft width is 36 in.

Hi Chris,

I have ordered a wing keel to convert our swing to wing. We will be picking up the new keel in a week or two. I would be happy to measure it or post photos if you can wait that long. I guess this keel will be the same as yours. I ordered it from Catalina Direct and it was made in the Catalina foundry.

If that time frame will work eMail me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Here are a few pics of the new wing trailer! I hope this helps with the setup. Tom.

Val, Tom and Chris- thanks guys. The alternative, if the wing is too wide, is to have a travel lift set us down on the trailer. From there it can be delivered to jackstands waiting at our house! (this will be the first time we store the boat at home- insert fantasy of many successful winter projects here...)
