ATLANTA 25 (COLVIC)

About the ATLANTA 25 (COLVIC)

The ATLANTA 25 was a stretched version of the HURLEY 24/70. Also known as the SAILOR 26. The hulls were molded by COLVIC Ltd. Most yachts sold were twin/bilge keel, though some fin keel versions were also built. Draft for the fin keel is 1.24m / 4.08ft

Designed by Ian Anderson and built by Colvic / Atlanta Marine (UK) in 1975, the Atlanta 25 is a compact, heavy-displacement cruiser with a displacement of 4200.0 lb and a ballast ratio exceeding 59%. With a hull count listed as ?, this single-year production run represents a specific era of British boatbuilding focused on stability and comfort.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a stable, comfortable ride over high-speed performance, benefiting from its high comfort ratio of 20.21 and manageable 25.75 ft LOA for easy storage.

Bluewater capability:

With a low capsize ratio of 1.88 and a displacement of 4200.0 lb, the Atlanta 25 possesses the inherent stability for offshore passages, though its small size and single-year production suggest it is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater expeditions.

Comparables:

Comparable to other late-1970s European heavy-displacement cruisers like the Hallberg-Rassy 35 or early O'Day models, the Atlanta 25 shares a focus on seaworthiness and traditional construction methods rather than modern lightweight racing characteristics.
