I think you'll find the 25 is that perfect combination of responsive and forgiving that makes it an ideal boat to learn on. It's also (as I recall) a very stoutly-built boat so it will stand the abuse it will inevitably get. If you're looking at a 25, some friend must be giving you good advice. Best of luck, and don't hesitate to keep asking questions. Cheers Andy C&C 40 Peregrine
