Mike asks an interesting question. Is this one of the rare inboard C25s? I also noticed the absence of a swim ladder. What kind of MOB provisions have you made?

Stampeder - We actually got the same tow back in. The sails are up to dry off as there was a serious chop.
1981capri - The plywood is coming off soon I hope?
Dave - The atlantic is a nice one. We are only 2 minutes from the inlet.
John Russell - This is only a '79, Im not sure they had inboard C25's that early. No, the outboard is there just not in the picture. The swim ladder is at home because it needs some bolts. We go sailing not swimming.(Just kidding its easy enough to climb back in over the side when your 15, 16 or, 17)
Frank Hopper - Thats a good eye.

FYI, there is a strong push to resurrect the Hobie 33 One-design and the value of the boats is going up. You might want to consider parleying that boat into several more C25s.

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">Not to be insensitive but, not everybody on that boat is a teenager and not everybody was wearing a PFD. If someone were to go overboard, you could well have tragic results. Even a healthy, fit teen will find it difficult to climb back aboard should he/she fall suddenly and surprisingly into the water and have to tread for a while until a boat without a motor sails back to it. While I applaud your industriousness, as the father of a Sea Scout, I'm a little concerned over safety aboard.

Frank Hopper - While thats a great point, the Hobie belongs to another unit. (S.S.S.777) They are very into racing and very skilled. A hull speed of 8 knots wouldnt go over well with them.

John Russell - I do understand the need for a swim ladder but the list goes on and on. (Including rough electrical engine repairs waterproofing and installing that VHF!) It is not a Priority. While not everyone aboard is not a teenager, everyone is an able swimmer and everyone has shown their ability to climb back on. Also the adults barely leave the cockpit, they are our mentors and we do all the work with their instruction. In addition, There is one lifeguard on out ship already and I myself am going to a red cross certification this weekend.
