About the EAGLE 525
Later version of the MARINER 17 or SKIPPER MARINER.
The Eagle 525 is a compact trailerable sloop designed by Peter Milne and built by Moreton Marine Productions (UK) in 1992. With a displacement of 700.0 lb and a LOA of 17.0 ft, it represents a lightweight, performance-oriented entry into the small cruising market.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal day-sailing, trailerable cruising, and single-handers who prioritize ease of transport and storage over heavy offshore capability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 700.0 lb, a comfort ratio of 5.02, and a capsize ratio of 3.16, the Eagle 525 is not designed for bluewater passage-making and is best restricted to protected coastal waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 23 and Catalina 22, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, trailerable dimensions, and a focus on accessible weekend cruising.
