The Sunbeam 25 is a cornerstone of the European trailersailer market, representing a pivotal era for the Austrian shipyard Schöchl Yachtbau. Developed during the late 1970s and produced well into the 1980s, the model was designed to offer the "ideal product"—a vessel that balances the portability of a lake sailer with the seaworthiness required for coastal cruising. Built in Mattsee near Salzburg, the boat reflects the shipyard’s origins in highend carpentry, featuring joinery and fiberglass finishes that often exceed the standards of its massproduced contemporaries. With a beam of approximately 2.48 to 2.50 meters, the Sunbeam 25 was specifically engineered to remain trailerable without special permits in most European jurisdictions, a feature that significantly contributed to its longevity in the secondhand market. It sits within a lineage of highly successful siblings, most notably the smaller Sunbeam 22 and the subsequent Sunbeam 26 and 27, which further refined the "sports cruiser" concept pioneered by the 25.
