Lancer 25
The Lancer 25 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by W. Shad Turner as a cruiser and first built in 1975.
The boat is a development of the Columbia T-23, which was designed by Alan Payne. The T-23 tooling was supplied by Richard Valdes, the co-founder of Columbia Yachts and founder of Lancer Yachts, who was the brother of Rob Valdes, one of the principals of Endeavour Yachts, who built the Lancer 25 under contract.
The Lancer 25 design was developed into the Lancer 25 Mark V in 1982.
The Lancer 25 PS is a motorsailer design with a new hull shape from the Lancer 25.
The design was actually built by Endeavour Yachts in the eastern United States, under contract to the Lancer Yacht Corp in the United States, both companies founded by Valdes. Production ran from 1975 until 1984.
The Lancer 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, an angled transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed shoal draft fin keel. The keel is wide and hollow to increase cabin space and height. The boat displaces 3,400 lb (1,542 kg) and carries 1,200 lb (544 kg) of lead ballast.
The boat has a draft of 2.33 ft (0.71 m) with the standard shallow draft keel.
The boat is normally fitted with a small 6 to 8 hp (4 to 6 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
