The Edel 665 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with mahogany wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a vertical transom, a skeg-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 2,403 lb (1,090 kg) and carries 882 lb (400 kg) of ballast. [1] [2]

The boat has a draft of 3.25 ft (0.99 m) with the standard keel fitted. The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [1]

Features include a lifting eye on the keel to facilitate winching the boat in and out of the water with a crane, opening foredeck hatch, a mainsheet traveller and genoa tracks. Accommodations can sleep four people on a "V"-berth, a convertible settee and quarter berth. Factory options included jibsheet winches, a hydraulic "pop-top", a recirculating head and a spinnaker. [2]

The design has a hull speed of 5.72 kn (10.59 km/h). [4]

Operational history

The design was named Boat of the Year at the Paris Boat Show. [2]
