Production

The boat was built by Pearson Yachts in the United States.

The Triton 25 is a development of the US Yachts US 25 and the Buccaneer 250, with the Triton 25 actually built from tooling and molds purchased from US Yachts.

The Pearson Yachts series of Triton boats were named for the Alberg Triton, which had been introduced in 1958.

Design

The Triton 25 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces {{convert|3750|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|1250|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast.

The boat has a draft of {{convert|4.25|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel and {{convert|3.0|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the optional shoal draft keel.

The boat is normally fitted with a small {{convert|4|to|8|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping provisions for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a main cabin, port side, drop-down dinette table that forms a double berth and a starboard, aft quarter berth. The galley is located on the starboard side amidships and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The enclosed head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is {{convert|66|in|cm|0|abbr=on}}.

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 213 with a high of 213 and low of 213. It has a hull speed of {{convert|6.2|kn|km/h|2|abbr=on}}.

Operational history

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "A large foretriangle and a blade-like small mainsail gives the appearance of a fast racer, but in reality the boat does not stand out as a particularly fast boat ... The pinched bow gives too little room for a full V-berth; use it for small kids only."
