Bill, you are going to love the 25; it is a stiff boat that will dig in and accelerate on a breeze; it as a "big boat" feel to it; it can carry a lot of sail in heavy winds, you just have to learn the art of "feathering"... I bought a 25 II that came from Lake Travis many years ago and brought it back to Kentucky; it is still here, being sailed as a teaching boat by the local sailing program...

'Would Eddie Go...?" Maybe not across the Atlantic even for him. Back on topic.. I'm close to wrapping up a minor new-owner update and cleaning of our recently purchased 25MKII. All that is left is an Interlux sprayed on bootstripe, buff and wax of the smooth area of the topsides, running rig install, clean all the sails, lube the Edson steerage, and splash her. Hopefully the saildrive, #1 doesn't leak, #2 it runs, and #3 runs well. One of our headsails is a storm jib, a tiny little thing for sure. Another can be reefed, the others are 115 and 150. And two mains. Finally, in a marina of hundreds of sailboats, there is only one other C&C, then ours in two weeks. They are very rare here in Texas.
