Seller's Description
B-25 sailboat for sale The boat is located in Fresno California Asking $11,400
B-25 RACING SAILBOAT HISTORY The B-25 was designed by Leif Beiley in the late 1980s and produced in limited numbers (50 total) by his company, B-Boats, Inc. The design was ahead of its time, with a slippery plaining hull, lightweight yet seaworthy Kevlar epoxy over foam core construction, and a deep lifting keel for stability, ramp launching and trailer-ability. The B-25 features a simple, single-spreader rig and spartan, daysailer appointments down below. Will sleep 4 adults. The boat’s ease of handling, rugged build and fast performance make it a favorite of owners across North America.
Construction: The haul and deck are hand laminated using unidirectional S-glass over Divinycell core material with modified epoxy resin.
Dimension: LOA: 25.00’, LWL: 21.25’, BEAM: 8.33’, DRAFT: 1.25’/5’, DISP: 2000 LBS, BAL: 800 LBS, SA: 273SF
I am the second owner of this boat. I have all the original paperwork. The boat was sold on April 14, 1995. I bought the boat in 2002. This is haul # 48 of 50. Each boat appear to be better than the one before it and this is one of the last ones built. A very nice example of a B25.The boat has not sailed in 6 years. It also has a Sunbrella cover that works with the mast up.

Calculations

9.3 kn
Classic: 6.18 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

>20: high performance
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
-
40.0
>40: stiffer, more 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
-
92.9
<100: Ultralight
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
-
8.1
<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
-
2.7
>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
