Eolia 25

The Eolia 25 is a French trailerable sailboat that was designed by Philippe Briand as a coastal cruiser and first built in 1983.

[1][3][4][5][7][8] The Eolia 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of single skin fiberglass polyester, with wood trim.

The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, a 13.2 U.S. gallons (50 L; 11.0 imp gal) icebox and a sink.

Best features: We think the layout is quite clever, with a double berth aft under the cockpit, an enclosed stand-up head in the highest location in the cabin, a modest-sized but practical nav station, and a U-shaped dining area seating up to 7 of 8 souls for that relaxing after-the-race beverage.

The table slides down on the mast compression strut to form the center portion of a double berth, The arrangement below makes the cabin seem quite airy and pleas- ant, despite a too-small forward hatch and no opening ports, Worst features: We can't imagine why this boat has a PHRF rating 30 to 40 seconds a mile higher than her comp[etitor]s. We don't think she deserves such harsh treatment.
