The Bremer 25 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Mark Bremer as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1995.[1][2]
The design was built by CW Hood Yachts for Bremer Marine in the United States starting in 1995, but it is now out of production.[1][2]
Design
The designer was a business consultant with an MBA, who wanted to design a production sailboat.[2]
The Bremer 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. The hull and the deck are made from vacuum-bagged biaxal fiberglass with a Core-Cell foam core. It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a lifting keel. It displaces 3,800 lb (1,724 kg) and carries 1,600 lb (726 kg) of lead ballast in a swept bulb on the fiberglass keel.[1][2][3]
The boat has a draft of 6.16 ft (1.88 m) with the lifting keel extended and 2.50 ft (0.76 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer.[1][2]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 4 to 6 hp (3 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a small double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and an aft cabin with a large double berth. The galley is located on the port side just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a stove and a sink. The main cabin has two small seats. The stand-up head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 72 in (180 cm). The fresh water tank has a capacity of 3 U.S. gallons (11 L; 2.5 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.4 kn (11.9 km/h).[2]
