Catalina 16.5 trailerable day sailor with Torqeedo
For those looking for an accessible sailing boat to spontaneously hit the water, this 1995 Catalina 16.5 offers an attractive combination of simplicity, fun, and flexibility. The boat is five meters long and two meters wide, providing ample space for a relaxing day on the lake while remaining compact enough for easy trailering and launching. With a shallow draft of approximately 20 cm, it is also suitable for shallower inland waters and sheltered coastal areas, exactly the type of sailing grounds that make this day sailor so popular. Its hull is made of fiberglass, and there are no indications of osmosis.
This Catalina is being auctioned via Boatauction and comes as a complete package. This makes it appealing for those who prefer to sail immediately without having to gather various parts first. In addition to the boat itself, included are a Poltrail road trailer (without registration), a 2018 Torqeedo Travel 1003L electric outboard motor, and two original Torqeedo lithium batteries. Practical extras such as a battery charger, phone charger, and TorqTrac GPS tracking are also provided. For sailing, there is a mainsail and jib in blue and yellow, a cover, tarpaulin(s), and various lines and accessories.

What makes this Catalina 16.5 so suitable as a day sailor?
It is designed as a trailerable sailboat that allows you to plan a day of sailing fun without much preparation. Due to its dimensions, the Catalina 16.5 is easy to handle even if you don’t have years of sailing experience. At the same time, the boat offers enough stability and space for comfortable sailing with family or friends. Its low draft helps explore reed beds, sheltered areas, and shallow bays while the clearance height of approximately 7.50 meters makes it suitable for open waters without fixed obstacles. As a day sailor for inland waters, this type is often sought after by people looking to buy a practical sailboat without being immediately tied to a mooring.
What about the electric outboard motor and batteries?
At the back hangs a Torqeedo Travel 1003L electric outboard motor with electric start. Electric sailing fits well with the character of this boat: quiet, immediately available, and pleasant for maneuvering in the harbor or when exiting a narrow channel. Two Torqeedo lithium batteries are included with the motor along with a charger. According to information provided, both the motor and batteries have seen little use and have been stored properly; during winter storage, almost no voltage loss was noted. For those specifically looking for a sailboat with an electric outboard motor, this is a great set—especially since it also includes a phone charger and GPS tracking onboard.
Is it easy to trailer and launch?
Yes, that is one of its strong points. The boat comes with a Poltrail boat trailer measuring approximately 550 by 200 cm. Because it is trailerable, you can store it at home or switch between different sailing areas. This makes this Catalina appealing to buyers seeking a trailer sailboat for lakes, ponds, and recreational areas or who enjoy driving to different waters on weekends. The trailer is a road trailer without registration; keep that in mind when planning your own transport and use.
What is known about use and maintenance?
The boat has been used on inland waters for day trips. It was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026. No date has been provided regarding antifouling treatment; however, for a boat that spends much time on a trailer this may be less critical than for one with a permanent mooring. The hull is made of fiberglass with no signs of osmosis reported. With its cover and tarpaulin(s), it is also equipped to be neatly covered after sailing, which is convenient when stored on land.
Anyone looking to purchase a complete set Catalina 16.5 with trailer, sails, and modern electric propulsion will find an inviting opportunity here. She is ready to take her next owner out for relaxing days of sailing, short trips, and quiet electric outings—exactly what you expect from a trailerable day sailor.
