If you haven’t already done so, you might want to try the Catalina 25 International Association: https://www.catalina-capri-25s.org
Someone there should have the information you are looking for.Thanks for the heads-up on our error. We have adjusted the LOA to 11′ 6″ (11.5 ft). We also adjusted the displacement to 160 lbs. Interestingly, in looking into this, we found a Hobie brochure from 1977 calling the boat the Hobie 11.
We have an IMX-45 builder’s brochure listing the E as 6.2. Not a significant difference from what you sent but definitely different from the 7.52 we were reporting. We have updated our record based on the information reported in the brochure.
Thanks.
Thanks for your info. We believe you are correct and that Catalina ended production of the 25 in 1990. We’ve updated our record in that regard. The number built is another issue. Looking into this, we found Practical Sailor’s review of the C25 reports 5,332 hulls. We also know that hulls and sail numbers are often different and not always sequential. Could you share your HIN? If the serial number portion of your HIN matches your sail number that would be a good indicator.
No mimimum comments required, just being logged in. It looks like you have added a new topic regarding rigging photos (etc) for a Northern 29. We’re not sure why things didn’t work initially but whatever it was seems to have resolved itself. Correct?
We do not have the measurements but can tell you the Force 5 sail will be too big for your Topper. The Force 5 is a bigger boat with a main reported to be 91 sqft vs the Topper at 57 sqft. (there are actually three sizes for the Topper, there is also a 45 and a 69 sqft main).
Cutting the sail to make it smaller is an option but is not as simple as it may appear and not usually recommended.That looks like the insignia for the Pioneer 17 sailboat built by Sailstar (https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/pioneer-17-sailstar/).
Similar to Sailstar’s Explorer. Unfortunately, we do not have any information other than what we are reporting. Including who supplied the mast to Sailstar (assuming it was a third party).We found some information on the Finnsailer 30 and have added a record. You can find it here: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/finnsailer-30/
I understand Sverre Reinke, Kurt’s grandson, might be selling the plans. Not sure how to get in touch with him though.
There’s also a Reinke Facebook page, Maybe someone there can help? https://www.facebook.com/groups/697142520443115/
Here’s an article with some general information (but no contact info): https://www.yacht.de/en/shipyards/yacht-building-third-generation-plans-revival-of-reinke-yachts/
Hope this helps.We report sail area two ways. Our SA (reported) is just that… what the builder reports. In this case, Hanse’s reported SA included the 140% overlapping genoa.
You are referring to the 100% fore triangle area based on rig measurements. When we have that information, we report is as S.A. Total (100% Fore + Main Triangles).
When we first created the record for the 315 (2006) we did not have the rig measurements. When we saw your post we went looking a bit and found them which have now been added to the record.
Hope this helps.
Sorry, we are not familiar with the Islander 17. Any chance what you have is an Islands 17? If so, we suggest you reach out to Ralph Harvey, harveyralph@gmail.com, we do not know him but it looks like he owned one and did a lot of work on it. https://www.rvharvey.com/sumner_islands.htm.
Maybe he can help you?
We don’t have a great photo but we’re thinking it’s a NEPTUNE 14 (NOT NAUTILUS) from American Fiberglass. https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/neptune-14/
