About the Larsen 25 Sailboat

Built by Danish yard Nyboat from 1986 onwards, this fractional sloop represents Nordic design sensibilities with its fin keel and spade rudder configuration. Designer Hans Åge Larsen created a 26-foot sailboat that balances performance with practicality, evident in its moderate displacement of 3,527 pounds and substantial ballast ratio that promotes stability. The boat's sail area of 355 square feet combined with its SA/Displacement ratio of 24.58 suggests spirited performance in light to moderate conditions, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and club racing. With a hull speed of 6.54 knots and comfortable beam of just over eight feet, the design prioritizes sailing ability while maintaining reasonable interior space for weekend adventures. The low comfort ratio of 13.89 indicates this is primarily a performance-oriented design rather than a heavy cruiser, while the capsize screening value of 2.12 places it within acceptable limits for coastal sailing. Limited production of just 65 hulls makes the Larsen 25 a relatively rare find on the used boat market. The fiberglass construction and proven fractional rig configuration offer reliability for sailors seeking an efficient coastal performer with distinctive Scandinavian character.
