The Coronado 25 represents a landmark moment in the transition of American sailing from an elite pastime to a mainstream recreational activity. Launched in 1966 and designed by Frank Butler and Ed Edgar, the Coronado 25 was the vessel that essentially validated the design philosophy Butler would later perfect at Catalina Yachts: providing the maximum possible interior volume and creature comforts within a trailerable, affordable fiberglass hull. With over 1,500 units produced during its decadelong production run, it remains one of the most prolific "pocket cruisers" of the 20th century. The boat was originally produced by Wesco Marine before the brand transitioned to Coronado Yachts, and it shares significant DNA with the Avalon 25, which served as its immediate predecessor.
