The Evelyn 25 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Bob Evelyn as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1984. [1] [2] [3]

Contents

Production

The design was built by Formula Yachts in Groton, Connecticut United States from 1984 to 1985, with six boats completed, but it is now out of production. [1] [3] [4]

Design

The Evelyn 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass with a Divinycell core and with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 2,600 lb (1,179 kg) and carries 1,100 lb (499 kg) of lead ballast. [1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 4.40 ft (1.34 m) with the standard keel. [1] [3]

The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. A fold-down navigation station is provided. The head is fully enclosed. Cabin headroom is 54 in (140 cm). [1] [3]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 147 and a hull speed of 6.2 kn (11.5 km/h). [3]

Operational history

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "this boat, built at designer-builder Bob Evelyn’s high-tech facility in Groton, CT, was meant to be light ... Her hull, laid up by hand, uses a Divinycell core, unidirectional fiberglass, and carbon-fiber stiffening ... Best features: Hardware is top quality, including a keel-stepped mast from Hall Spars, Harken ball-bearing traveler, and dual-speed winches. Worst features: In 1985 the management at Formula Yachts predicted that the boat's PHRF rating would turn out to be in 'the low 170s'. Even after more than a decade of race course performance, the boat's performance has been in the range of 147—perhaps testifying to the owners' passion for racing." [3]
