Seller's Description
Health issues force the sale of this boat by the 2nd owner. Engine is a 2009 Tohatsu 9.8 horsepower in excellent condition. Teleflex engine controls and electric start are located in the cockpit. The hours on the engine are estimated to be about 50. Boat sits on her cradle at the Milwaukee Community Sailing Center and can be ready for launching on May 7th. Low price reflects work interrupted by health issues. New steaming/deck light wiring is incomplete. Breaker panel and related interior trim is removed, so the running lights and interior lights are also not operational. On the plus side the bottom was completely stripped, barrier coated, faired, and painted with VC-17. The keel was dropped, resurfaced and re-mated, sealed with 3M 5200, and the bolts properly torqued. Engine mount was removed and re-bushed with delrin bushings and reinstalled and sealed with 3M 5200. Stripes and name re-painted in updated color scheme. Boat comes with solid wooden cradle that is easy to disassemble. Photos are a little old. Boat stored outdoors last season and is dirty. Contact owner for more details.
Equipment: Mainsail. Foresails: 100%, 150%, and 170%.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
7.7 kn
Classic: 6.2 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
17.0
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
33.3
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
170.3
100-200: light
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
16.0
<20: lightweight racing boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.1
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
In 1984-85 Pearson Yachts sold a line of sailboats that it called the Tritons. This was an attempt to capitalize on the success and reputation of the Alberg designed TRITON, introduced in 1958, and the company’s best known model.
The tooling for these yachts was actually purchased from US Yachts/Bayliner Inc.
The TRITON 25 is similar to the earlier US 25 and BUCCANEER 250 and was also sold as the PEARSON 25.
Shoal draft: 3.0’
