About the KAISER 25
Outboard well standard. Volvo diesel offered as an option.
The Kaiser 25 is a rare, single-year production vessel designed by John R.Kaiser Sr. and built by Stowman Shipbuilding Corp. in 1962. With an unknown build count, this 25.33 ft LOA masthead sloop represents a unique snapshot of early 1960s American boatbuilding.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, appealing to owners who value a classic, full-keel design with a comfortable 26.16 comfort ratio for short offshore passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 5350.0 lb and a low capsize ratio of 1.79, the Kaiser 25 offers inherent stability and seaworthiness suitable for protected coastal waters and short offshore trips.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other early 1960s 25-foot full-keel sloops such as the Pearson 25 or O'Day 25, which share similar displacement and traditional hull forms.
