The Edel 760 represents a bridge between the trailerable daysailers that built Maurice Edel’s early reputation and the more substantial coastal cruisers that defined the company’s later years. Launched in the late 1970s, this 25foot monohull was designed to offer the "big boat" feel of a 30footer within a more manageable and affordable footprint. Like its predecessor, the Edel 4, the 760 was built primarily at the Meyzieu facility in France, though its popularity led to licensed production in North America via Edel Canada. The design prioritizes volume and structural rigidity, utilizing the fiberglass expertise for which the Edel brothers were renowned. It remains a fixture in the European secondhand market, prized for its honest construction and balanced sailing characteristics.
