About the Coronet 25 Sailboat

Designed by J. Brooke and built by Australia's Salthouse Bros. Ltd. starting in 1972, this fiberglass masthead sloop represents solid coastal cruising capabilities in a compact package. With its 25-foot length overall and substantial 2,954-pound displacement, the Coronet 25 offers more stability and seaworthiness than many boats in its size class. The design features a practical keel/centerboard configuration that provides both shallow-water versatility and offshore stability when needed. Drawing 4.49 feet with the board down, she can access shoal waters while maintaining good windward performance. The generous beam of 8.17 feet creates a roomy interior for weekend cruising, while the displacement-to-length ratio suggests a boat built for comfort rather than speed. Her comfort ratio of 12.93 indicates a motion that's gentle enough for extended passages, making this an excellent choice for coastal cruising and short offshore ventures. The capsize screening formula of 2.28 falls within acceptable limits for experienced sailors venturing beyond protected waters. With 204 square feet of sail area driving nearly 3,000 pounds of boat, the Coronet 25 prioritizes steady progress over racing performance, making her ideal for relaxed cruising and boat camping adventures.
