Designed by the renowned duo Colin Mudie and Van De Stadt, this classic 25-footer represents thoughtful European yacht design from the early 1960s. Built by A.V. Robertson and Tyler Boat Co. in the UK starting in 1963, the Wing 25 showcases the era's emphasis on seaworthiness and practical cruising capability in a compact package. The yacht's masthead sloop rig and fin keel configuration deliver respectable performance with a sail area of 255 square feet driving 6,500 pounds of displacement. Her moderate beam of 8 feet and draft of 3.58 feet strike a practical balance between stability and shoal water accessibility. The substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio, with 2,250 pounds of ballast, contributes to solid sailing characteristics and self-righting ability. With a comfort ratio of 30.77 and capsize screening value of 1.72, the Wing 25 demonstrates excellent seaworthiness for coastal cruising and protected offshore passages. Her hull speed of 5.76 knots reflects typical performance for this size range, while the SA/Displacement ratio of 11.75 indicates moderate power suitable for both leisurely cruising and spirited day sailing. The fiberglass construction ensures durability and relatively low maintenance for today's owners seeking a classic pocket cruiser with proven offshore credentials.
