The Spring 25 was a revolutionary design back in the 1980's and continues to impress embodying the perfect blend of a cruiser and racer capable of winning regattas and cruising to those destinations that larger deep keeled yachts just can't reach.
Sailing the MG Spring 25 is a pleasure, especially off the wind, fast, responsive and highly rewarding. The wing keel provides lift and added stability in all seas while the shallow draft of just one meter allows it to easily dry out on drying moorings and sandy beaches. This boat comes with a serviced road trailer having new tires fitted in late 2024.
This is an excellent crossover boat if you're coming from dinghy sailing into the world of larger boat sailing. Guaranteed to impress while not completely overwhelming or scaring the life out of you.
In 2021 the boat was extensively refitted with fresh tinned wiring, led lights and the interior freshened up. The Yanmar engine is in good condition and boasts a new fuel system including 25 liter tank, R&D coupling, PSS dripless shaft seal, new P bracket, prop shaft and Flexofld 2 bladed propeller.
The MG Spring's accommodation boasts standing room (I'm 5' 10") includes a forward double berth, two settee berths, and a spacious aft cabin. The galley is located to port with a two burner Dometic alcohol stove, with the chart table and head behind.
The boat is equipped with an Em-Track AIS transponder, standard Horizon Matrix AIS/GPS with external RAM mount in the cockpit
The standing rigging was replaced in 2019 with the halyards replaced in 2022.
