Designed by Warren Metcalf and built by South Coast Seacraft Co. beginning in 1969, this 25-footer represents solid coastal cruising capabilities in a compact package. With a moderate displacement of 4,200 pounds and substantial ballast ratio, the South Coast 25 offers reassuring stability for weekend cruising and day sailing adventures. The fin keel and spade rudder configuration provides responsive handling characteristics, while the masthead sloop rig delivers straightforward sail handling that appeals to both novice and experienced sailors. Her beam of 7.50 feet creates reasonable interior volume for overnight accommodations, though this boat truly shines as a coastal day sailer and short-term cruiser. The boat's comfort ratio of 20.28 suggests a relatively quick motion in seaways, making her better suited for protected waters and coastal sailing rather than extended offshore passages. Her capsize screening formula of 1.86 indicates good stability characteristics for coastal conditions. With only 100 hulls produced during her production run, the South Coast 25 remains a relatively uncommon find on the used boat market. This fiberglass construction offers durability and low maintenance, while her moderate sail area provides manageable power for single-handed sailing or small crew operations in typical coastal conditions.
