The Sunbird 25 is a 25.0ft fractional sloop designed by J. B. Brooke and built in fiberglass between 1977 and 1987.
The Sunbird 25 is a light sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is reasonably 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. There is a very short water supply range.
