The Coronado 25, designed by Ed Edgar and Frank Butler, was built by Coronado Yachts in the USA from 1966–1975. This classic masthead sloop offers a balanced blend of performance and comfort, with a displacement of 4500.0 lb and a beam of 8.0 ft, making it a popular choice for coastal cruising.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize ease of handling and a comfortable interior, as well as single-handers looking for a manageable masthead sloop with a moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio of 17.6.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.94 and a displacement of 4500.0 lb, the Coronado 25 is generally considered suitable for protected coastal waters and short offshore passages, but its relatively light displacement and fin keel configuration make it less ideal for extended bluewater voyaging compared to heavier, full-keel designs.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from the same era include the Cal 25 and the O'Day 25, which share similar dimensions, masthead sloop rigs, and a focus on family-friendly coastal cruising with moderate performance characteristics.
