The Coronado 25 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Ed Edgar and Frank W. Butler as a cruiser and first built in 1966. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

Production

The design was built by Coronado Yachts in the United States from 1966 to 1975. It was also built by Russell Marine in the United Kingdom, but it is now out of production. [1] [4] [5] [6]

Design

The Coronado 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a spooned, raked stem; a raised counter, angled transom; an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel of stub keel and centerboard. [1] [4]

The boat is normally fitted with a small 6 to 10 hp (4 to 7 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [1] [4]

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a dinette table that lowers into a double berth in the main cabin and an aft quarter berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, an icebox and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 66 in (170 cm). [1] [4]

The design has a hull speed of 6.0 kn (11.1 km/h). [4]
