Broker's Comments

The Spring 25 is a capable cruiser racer. I sail the sister ship to this boat and can honestly say that they sail well, are easy to handle and are extremely good off the wind in a blow, giving the impression of the handling characteristic of a much larger boat.
Going below in the main cabin she offers 2 small berths forward and 2 settee berths with a chart table and heads to starboard. There is a stern cabin with a large double berth. With her wing keel she can take the ground on drying moorings or sandy berths and she can also explore shallow creeks.
This boat benefits from being gelshielded, and in 2011 a new Furlex roller system was fitted as well as a Stack pack, Lazy Jacks and Garmin GPS 510. She has had a recent survey and all the surveyors recommendations have been addressed.
When she was designed the brief was for the sailing equivalent of a BMW 3 series which the MG Spring 25 most definitely is.
