TheTriton 25, also called thePearson 25, is an Americantrailerablesailboat, that was designed byGary Mull and first built in 1984. The design is out of production.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
The boat was built byPearson Yachts in theUnited States.[1][5][6]
The Triton 25 is a development of theUS Yachts US 25 and theBuccaneer 250, with the Triton 25 actually built from tooling and molds purchased fromUS Yachts.[1][5][6]
The Pearson Yachts series of Triton boats were named for theAlberg Triton, which had been introduced in 1958.[1][5][6]
The Triton 25 is a small recreationalkeelboat, built predominantly offiberglass, with wood trim. It has amasthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-typerudder and a fixed finkeel. It displaces 3,750 lb (1,701 kg) and carries 1,250 lb (567 kg) of ballast.[1][2][5][6]
The boat has a draft of 4.25 ft (1.30 m) with the standard keel and 3.0 ft (0.91 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][5][6]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 4 to 8 hp (3 to 6 kW)outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][6]
The design has sleeping provisions for five people, with a double"V"-berth in the bow cabin, a main cabin, port side, drop-down dinette table that forms a double berth and a starboard, aftquarter berth. Thegalley is located on the starboard side amidships and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The enclosedhead is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is 66 in (168 cm).[6]
The boat has aPHRF racing average handicap of 213 with a high of 213 and low of 213. It has ahull speed of 6.2 kn (11.48 km/h).[2][5][6]
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "A large foretriangle and a blade-like small mainsail gives the appearance of a fast racer, but in reality the boat does not stand out as a particularly fast boat ... The pinched bow gives too little room for a full V-berth; use it for small kids only."[6]
