About the BINKS B25
The Binks B25 is a compact, lightweight fractional sloop designed by David Binks and built by Binks Yacht Constructions in Australia. Production records indicate the boat was built in 1979, though the total number of hulls built is currently unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and day sailing, particularly for owners seeking a trailerable package with easy handling. Its light displacement and moderate sail area make it accessible for single-handers or couples looking for a manageable, responsive dayboat.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 2575.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.39, the B25 is not designed for extended bluewater passages but is capable of protected coastal cruising. Its fin keel and variable draft options suggest it is optimized for shallow water access rather than heavy offshore conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other late-1970s Australian trailerable designs such as the O'Day 23 or early Catalina 22s, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and light displacement characteristics. These boats are comparable due to their focus on ease of transport and straightforward sailing dynamics.
