About the DEHLER 25CR
Shallow draft (wing keel): .95m/3.12'
The Dehler 25CR is a compact fractional sloop designed by E. G. van de Stadt and built by Dehler from 1995–2005. With a displacement of 3748.0 lb and a LOA of 24.61 ft, it represents a lightweight, performance-oriented entry into the cruising market.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend racers who prioritize speed and ease of handling over heavy offshore comfort. Its light displacement and fractional rig make it particularly appealing to single-handers or couples seeking a manageable, responsive package.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 3748.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 15.42, the Dehler 25CR is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages.
