The La Paz 25 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Lyle C. Hess as a motorsailer and first built in 1973.[1][2][3]
The design was built by Coastal Recreation, Inc of Costa Mesa, California, United States starting in 1973, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]
Design
The La Paz 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a port-side wheel and a fixed fin, shoal-draft keel. It displaces 4,600 lb (2,087 kg) and carries 1,400 lb (635 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 2.00 ft (0.61 m) with the standard shoal-draft keel.[1][3]
The boat is fitted with a Pisces diesel engine of 28 hp (21 kW) or another gasoline or diesel engine of 20 to 28 hp (15 to 21 kW). The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 25 U.S. gallons (95 L; 21 imp gal).[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee berths in the main cabin, with upper berths above them. The galley is located on both sides just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a three-burner stove and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and includes a shower stall. Cabin headroom is 76 in (193 cm). The cockpit is open for the use of deckchairs in place of fixed seats.[1][3]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1][3]
The design has a hull speed of 6.5 kn (12.0 km/h).[3]
