Used Kirby 25 Sailboats for Sale

The Kirby 25 is a distinctive Canadian sailboat known for its spirited racing performance and surprising, albeit minimalist, cruising capabilities. Designed by the acclaimed naval architect Bruce Kirby, renowned for the Laser dinghy, and built by Mirage Yachts Ltd. of Quebec, this model carved out a reputation as a competitive club racer and a fun, agile daysailer. Produced between 1978 and 1982, the Kirby 25 was specifically commissioned to challenge the dominance of other popular racing boats of its era, particularly the J/24s. With 223 hulls built, it remains a notable presence in North American sailing fleets, often cherished by owners for its lively handling and robust fiberglass construction.
