Description:
The Sadler 25 is an attractive small cruiser, fast and seaworthy, particularly in this deep fin keel version. This example has an inboard diesel, very good sails, and a very spacious saloon when the galley is stowed away. Sadler 25s were also sold as 'kit' boats, so the standards of the interior fitout can vary considerably. In 1973 Martin Sadler asked his father David to design a yacht for his new boatbuilding company. The design brief was to be a more modern replacement for David Sadler's long-running long-keeled Contessa 26 design. The result was the Sadler 25, first sold in 1974. Whilst most of the later Sadlers (26, 29 and 34) had double-skin foam-filled hulls, the earlier designs (Sadler 25 and 32) had conventional solid GRP hulls. Later Sadler 25s had more extensive interior GRP mouldings and a slightly taller rig. As a lighter boat, and with a separate keel and rudder, the Sadler 25 was a significantly faster boat than the far from slow Contessa 26, and also had substantially more interior space. The hull has tumblehome amidships, and is described by Yachting Monthly as having "some of the sweetest lines afloat anywhere". The Sadler 25 was initially built with a choice of deep or shallow fins, but a bilge keel version was also introduced after a while. A very few lift-keelers were also built. The design was built from 1974 to 1981, with around 300 boats built. In 1981 the design was enlarged slightly and construction changed to an "unsinkable" foam-filled hull to become the Sadler 26.
