Beachcomber 25
The Beachcomber 25 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Walter Scott as a cruiser and first built in 1979.
The design was built by Marine Innovators in the United States. The company built 70 examples starting in 1979, but it is now out of production.
The Beachcomber 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has an unstayed cat ketch or, optionally, a sloop rig, a plumb stem, raked transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 5,200 lb (2,359 kg) and carries 1,600 lb (726 kg) of ballast in its grounding shoe.
The cat ketch rig uses wishbone booms and unstayed, rotating, deck-mounted masts. The sails furl around the rotating masts and have sheets, outhauls and topping lifts. There are no mainsheet travelers or boom vangs fitted.
The boat two centerboard configurations. One has a fixed keel and centerboard and it has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.50 ft (0.76 m) with it retracted. The other has a centerboard that retracts into a trunk and it has a draft of 5.42 ft (1.65 m) with the centreboard extended and 1.00 ft (0.30 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. The centerboard is retracted with a 4:1 tackle.
The boat can be fitted with an inboard diesel engine or a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 19 U.S. gallons (72 L; 16 imp gal).
Accommodation consists of a forward "V"-berth, plus a cabin quarter berth and L-shaped settee. The galley is located on the port side forward, just behind the "V"-berth. The head is a portable type and includes ventilation and a teak door for privacy.
The design has a hull speed of 6.43 kn (11.91 km/h).
