I would like to obtain USCG documentation for my Catalina 25 (wing keel). The calculation requires the vessel's depth as defined by the CG:

"Overall Depth means the vertical distance taken at or
near amidships from a line drawn horizontally
through the uppermost edges of the skin (outside
planking or plating) at the side of the hull
(excluding the cap rail, trunks, cabins and deckhouses, and deck
caps) to the outboard face of the bottom skin of the
hull, excluding the keel. For a vessel that is designed for
sailing where the interface between the “keel”
and the “bottom skin of the hull” is not clearly
defined (as is the case with an “integral” or “faired”
keel), the keel is included in the “overall depth”.

Anyone know the Catalina 25's depth?

Catbird,

I believe that when I plugged in the numbers for my C25, that it came up one ton short of the 5 ton minimum required for documentation.

I think the C-32 is the smallest boat Catalina makes that qualifies for Federal documentation, and it has just barely enough displacement to qualify.

Duane,

I used the [url="http://www.uscg.mil/hq/msc/T3/cg5397/cg5397.form.htm"]USCG Interactive Application Simplified Measurement Form[/url] which in my interpretation, doesn't allow measurement of the deck structure in calculating the tonnage.

Check it out...

Thank you all for the quick response. Looks like a state registration is in order. I've just purchased her (an '83)and I am new to the Catalina 25. I'm looking forward to learning the boat and I am very glad to have found the forum. Thanks again for the info.

FYI...A "documented" vessel still needs to comply with state requirements, meaning if your state requires registration then you must do so even though your vessel is documented.

Oh, and by the way, welcome to the fleet!

Do we call you Cat or Mr. Bird?

Catbird -- as in "sittin' in the catbird seat." The boat is being registered in Washington, DC. DC is one of the jurisdictions that forgives its (6%) sales tax on documented vessels. It was worth a try.
