Eastsail 25

Designed by Eliot Spalding and introduced in 1984, this compact cruiser represents a thoughtful approach to small boat offshore capability. The Eastsail 25's traditional long keel configuration and cutter rig arrangement reflect classic cruising priorities, emphasizing seaworthiness and self-sufficiency over pure performance. With a displacement of 7,200 pounds and 2,300 pounds of ballast, this fiberglass yacht carries substantial weight for her 25-foot length, contributing to her stability and sea-kindly motion. The long keel design provides excellent tracking ability and creates a protected aperture for the propeller and rudder, valuable features for cruisers venturing into challenging waters. The cutter rig offers exceptional versatility in varying wind conditions, allowing sailors to balance the sail plan effectively by using different combinations of headsails. This makes the boat particularly well-suited for coastal cruising and short-handed sailing, where the ability to reduce sail area forward while maintaining drive becomes crucial. Her comfort ratio of 29.13 indicates a motion that favors stability over quickness, while the capsize screening formula of 1.76 suggests reasonable offshore capability for experienced sailors. The 400 square feet of sail area provides adequate power for her displacement, though performance will be more about steady progress than exciting speed.
