I'm looking at a used Catalina 25, swing keel. I'll be using the boat almost exclusively in the Atlantic Ocean for daysailing, via a poorly maintained and very lumpy inlet. The boat will take a good pounding on ocean and a huge pounding running the inlet, depending on tide. I know that bigger would be better, but budget figures into it. Would I likely be happy with the 25 in steady winds and big swells and/or large chop? Will it work well to windward in these conditions? Can it take a pounding? How is the 25 for singlehanding?

For really lumpy sailing you may want ot look around for a fin or wing keel. The advantage is that with several thousand C25's out there you can find used ones in every configuration. For salt water, if you don't trailer, I definately recommend a fixed keel.
