The Eolia 25 is a French trailerable sailboat that was designed by Philippe Briand as a coastal cruiser and first built in 1983.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Design
The Eolia 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of single skin fiberglass polyester, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, with aluminum spars and wire standing rigging. It has a deck-stepped mast and a single set of unswept spreaders. The hull has a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or, optionally a stub keel and centerboard. The fin keel version displaces 3,750 lb (1,701 kg) and carries 1,543 lb (700 kg) of cast iron ballast, while the stub keel and centerboard version displaces 4,034 lb (1,830 kg) and carries 1,830 lb (830 kg) of cast iron ballast, with a steel centerboard.[1][3][4][5]
The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 4.75 ft (1.45 m), while the centreboard-equipped version has a draft of 5.92 ft (1.80 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.58 ft (0.79 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][3][4][5]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 7 to 10 hp (5 to 7 kW), or an optional 6 to 8 hp (4 to 6 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 5 U.S. gallons (19 L; 4.2 imp gal).[1][3][4][5]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow around a drop-down dinette table and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, a 13.2 U.S. gallons (50 L; 11.0 imp gal) icebox and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The enclosed head is located just aft of the companionway on the starboard side. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 14.8 U.S. gallons (56 L; 12.3 imp gal). Cabin headroom is 68 in (173 cm).[1][3]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 466 sq ft (43.3 m2).[4][5]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 243 and a hull speed of 6.2 kn (11.5 km/h).[3]
