The First 25S is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig with a square-head mainsail, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, dual transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller and a centreboard or optional fixed fin keel. It displaces 4,740 lb (2,150 kg) and carries 1,433 lb (650 kg) of ballast.[1]
The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 4.76 ft (1.45 m), while the centreboard-equipped version has a draft of 6.08 ft (1.85 m) with the centreboard extended and 2.75 ft (0.84 m) with it retracted.[1]
The boat is optionally fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2YM15 diesel engine of 14 hp (10 kW). The fuel tank holds 8 U.S. gallons (30 L; 6.7 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 11 U.S. gallons (42 L; 9.2 imp gal).[1]
