The Dehler 25 is a German trailerable sailboat that was designed by E. G. van de Stadt as a cruiser and first built in 1984.
[1][4][5][6][7][8] The Dehler 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim.
[1][4][5][6] The boat is fitted with a saildrive diesel engine or a small 4 to 6 hp (3 to 4 kW) outboard motor on a sliding vertical mount for docking and maneuvering.
She is designed with trailering in mind, and consequently includes an automatic water ballast system, an easily removable rudder, well designed mast lowering equipment, and a specially built road trailer fitted with a four-wheeled 'floating slip-way trolley.'
The boat was available either factory-finished or in various stages of construction for home finishing by using various kits and subassemblies offered as options at the factory.
Best features: The Dehler is very well made and cleverly designed for easy launching and retrieval at a ramp.
