The Lotus 25 is a 24.61ft masthead sloop designed by Francois Sergent and built in fiberglass by CNSO (Constructions Nautiques du Sud-Ouest) between 1967 and 1982.
The Lotus 25 is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small.
