The Platu 25 (formerly Beneteau 25) is a sailing boat designed by Farr Yacht Design led by Bruce Farr with the first boat being built by McDell Marine in New Zealand in the early 1990s. It became a class recognised by the International Sailing Federation in November 2006.

History

[edit]

The International Platu 25 Class Association was formed as the owners association to support the class and promote racing amongst owners which led to it becoming an ISAF-recognised class. This entitled the class to hold World Championships.

The boat current two builders being Beneteau in France and Extreme Sailing Products near Singapore.[1]
