Designed by the venerable naval architect Thomas Gillmer—best known for the Allied Seawind, the first fiberglass boat to circumnavigate—the Midship 25 represents a bold architectural experiment from the early 1970s. Produced by Midship Yachts of Westminster, California, this vessel sought to transplant the luxuries of 40foot bluewater cruisers into a 25foot, trailerable package. Its defining characteristic is a centercockpit layout featuring a completely separate aft cabin, a rarity for a boat of this displacement. The design emphasizes coastal cruising comfort and stability over raw racing performance, targeting sailors who value privacy and a "big boat" feel in a manageable, smallfootprint hull.
