Used Top Hat 25 Sailboats for Sale

The Top Hat 25 is a celebrated and enduring monohull sailboat, originally designed in 1962 to the specifications of the newly formed Junior Offshore Group (J.O.G.) rule. Conceived as a compact yet capable offshore cruising and racing yacht, she has garnered a reputation as a solid, seaworthy vessel, particularly suited for budget-minded sailors seeking a robust pocket cruiser. While the initial design is credited to prominent naval architects Angus Primrose and John Illingworth, her extensive production history involved several Australian builders, notably Rob Legg's Mouldcraft, Fiberglass Yachts (later Formit Fibreglass), and Formit Fibreglass, contributing to her widespread presence in the sailing community.
