About the EOLIA 25 (JEANNEAU)
A keel-centerboard version was also available. (BU: 2.58' BD: 5.92')
Designed by Philippe Briand and built by Jeanneau (FRA) from 1983–1989, the Eolia 25 is a compact masthead sloop with a displacement of 3750.0 lb and a beam of 9.17 ft. While the exact hulls built count is unknown, this model represents a significant era of French production, characterized by a D/L ratio of 164.52 and a comfort ratio of 13.43.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize ease of handling and trailerability over heavy offshore endurance. Its light displacement and moderate sail area (SA/D ratio of 15.89) make it responsive in light to moderate winds, ideal for those with limited storage space.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.36 and a relatively light displacement of 3750.0 lb, the Eolia 25 is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages. Its fin keel and moderate ballast ratio suggest adequate stability for near-shore cruising but limited reserve buoyancy for heavy offshore conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 23 and the O'Day 23, which share similar dimensions and target the same market of entry-level cruisers. These vessels offer similar masthead sloop configurations and fin keels, providing a benchmark for performance and layout in the mid-1980s 24-foot class.
