Designed by the team of Ed Edgar and Frank Butler, this classic quarter-century sailboat represents solid American boatbuilding from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Coronado Yachts produced this fiberglass sloop from 1966 to 1975, creating a boat that became popular among weekend sailors and sailing schools alike. The Coronado 25's moderate proportions make it an ideal coastal cruiser and day sailor. With a fin keel and spade rudder configuration, it offers responsive handling while maintaining good stability through its substantial 2,150-pound ballast ratio. The masthead sloop rig provides 299 square feet of working sail area, delivering respectable performance without being overpowering for less experienced sailors. At 4,500 pounds displacement, this boat strikes a nice balance between manageable size and seaworthiness. The comfortable 20.23 comfort ratio indicates decent motion at sea, while the low 1.94 capsize screening value suggests good stability characteristics for coastal sailing. The design's 6-knot hull speed provides adequate performance for relaxed cruising. This boat suits sailors seeking a traditional, well-built platform for coastal exploration, sailing instruction, or casual racing. Its reputation for durability and forgiving handling characteristics has made it a popular choice in the used boat market for decades.
