Tomahawk 25 Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

Designed by the prolific Alan F. Hill and introduced in the late 1960s, the Tomahawk 25 represents a pivotal moment in the history of Marine Construction Ltd. (Marcon). While the builder’s earlier success with the Trident 24 established its reputation for sturdy, accessible cruisers, the Tomahawk 25 was conceived as a more modern, performance-oriented alternative. It features a distinctive profile characterized by a slightly swept-back coachroof and a hull that prioritizes a cleaner entry into the water than its predecessor. Produced primarily throughout the 1970s, the Tomahawk 25 was offered in both fin and twin-keel (bilge keel) configurations, catering to both deep-water sailors and those navigating the drying harbors of the UK’s South Coast. According to the Marcon Owners Association, the model was a staple of the British coastal cruising scene, successfully bridging the gap between a manageable family daysailer and a legitimate coastal voyager.
