The Olson 25 represents a refined chapter in the "Santa Cruz" sailing revolution, distilled into a compact, trailerable package. Introduced in 1984 as a collaborative effort between designer George Olson and Pacific Boat Works, the model was intended to capture the burgeoning Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) market while offering a more accessible entry point to the ultra-light displacement boat (ULDB) lifestyle than its larger predecessor, the Olson 30. While many of its peers from the same era were heavy, displacement-oriented cruisers, the Olson 25 adhered to George Olson’s "fast is fun" philosophy, prioritizing a high power-to-weight ratio and exceptional off-the-wind performance. Following the closure of Pacific Boat Works in 1986, the molds were acquired by Ericson Yachts, which continued production with slight modifications to the interior finish and laminate schedule, ensuring the boat's longevity in the performance market.
