25' Pacific Seacraft 25

"The Pacific Seacraft 25 is a dark horse. Comparatively few people know her, yet she is remarkable in this respect: She is a trailerable sailboat fully fit to take on the ocean. A Cruising World article wrote 'her traditional double-ended hull is patterned after the famous No Man's Land boats of the 19th century, which were able to carry heavy loads and sail swiftly and safely in all kinds of weather.'" (John Vigor, /Twenty Small Sailboats to Take You Anywhere/)

Pacific Seacraft boats have a reputation for being tops in construction and design. The hull is full and gives lots of room below but draws only 3'-4". She's not a fast boat - the cutter version, which this is, is quicker than the sloop version, and her 150% genoa will make her go quicker still.

She is in very good condition structurally and very good condition inside. The teak deck is in mostly okay condition, epoxied to the deck not screwed (the "screw plugs" are for show), so there are no screws to leak and thereby damage the balsa-core inside. All the rigging ends and chain plates are new. The engine, a Yanmar 8hp one-banger, turns over fine and has compression but isn't pumping fuel, which I'm working on.

An owner's comment:

"I owned and lived aboard a PS 25 for a few years. She was an excellent vessel. I single handed, spent a week or more at a time out on her. I didn't have autopilot just balanced the sails. She sailed like a dream, period. She loved 7-13 knots and was darn plucky in 30. She was nice and stiff in an increasing blow and light on her toes in soft breeze.
I recommend you sail one, she will absolutely surprise you.

The 150% genoa looks nearly new.
The staysail looks fine.
The storm jib looks new.
The mainsail is useable but strictly average; it lays flat (it should have darts and not lay flat) and has short battens (it really should have longer battens for cruising) and has only one set of reef points.
