The US Yachts US 25 is an American sailboat, that was designed by Gary Mull and first built in 1981. The design is out of production.[1][2][3]
The boat was built by US Yachts, a division of Bayliner, which is itself a division of the Brunswick Boat Group, which is in turn owned by the Brunswick Corporation.[1]
Derived from the Buccaneer 250, the US 25 was later developed into the Triton 25 and produced by Pearson Yachts.[1]
