The Catalina 250 represented a significant evolution in the design philosophy of Catalina Yachts when it was introduced in the mid1990s. Moving away from the heavier, traditional lines of the original Catalina 25—one of the most successful production sailboats in history—the 250 was engineered to compete in the burgeoning market for trailerable cruisers. It was the manufacturer's first serious foray into waterballast technology, a move intended to provide the interior volume of a much larger yacht while remaining light enough to be towed by a standard SUV or light truck.
