The Sailfish 25 has to be considered as an ideal small boat for tidal and coastal waters such as North Wales featuring many sand banks and drying harbours. At the press of a button the fully concealed electrically operated hydraulic lift keel allows use of drying harbours, moorings and anchorages as greatly increasing access times to many areas.
For 25ft. the Sailfish provides excellent accomodation (2 x double + 1 single or double and 3 x single) with 6 ft headroom. She is an excellent example of this innovative design, antifouled and ready for launch. Current owner for 12 years.
