The EM 25, designed by Ernesto Quaranta and produced by SIBMA Navale Italiana, represents a refined era of Italian plywood boatbuilding where technical efficiency met Mediterranean aesthetic. Launched as an evolution of the popular EM 24, the "EM" designation (honoring Ernesto and his wife, Maria) identifies a series of vessels that helped democratize sailing in Italy during the 1960s and 70s. The EM 25 is characterized by its hard-chined hull—a hallmark of the shipyard’s "scafi a spigolo" technique—which utilized marine-grade plywood to create a light, stiff, and surprisingly seaworthy coastal cruiser. At approximately 7.60 meters in length, the EM 25 bridged the gap between a simple daysailer and a capable weekend cruiser, offering a level of craftsmanship often absent in the mass-produced fiberglass yachts that eventually dominated the market.
