Schöchl Sunbeam 25 KS Sailboats for Sale

The Sunbeam 25 KS, designed and built by the Austrian shipyard Schöchl Yachts, represents a significant chapter in European trailerable cruising history. Launched in the mid1970s and remaining in production for nearly two decades, the model was engineered to meet the specific demands of alpine lake sailing—where light wind performance and shallow drafts are paramount—while maintaining a build quality robust enough for coastal excursions in the Adriatic or the Baltic. The "KS" designation stands for Kielschwerter, indicating its swingkeel (centerboard) configuration, a design choice that significantly expanded the vessel's cruising range into shallow estuaries and allowed for easier trailering compared to its fixedkeel counterparts.
