I am looking at a 1971 Irwin 25. Does anyone have spec sheet? Specifically, I want to know the draft and displacement. Any other info and comments would be appreciated.

A friend of mine has an Irwin 24 which I believe it is essentially the same boat. I have to tell you that is a very sweet sailing boat. You can balance the boat so it is only two fingers on the tiller under most conditions. I think it is a great boat. SO much so, next year I am giviing serious consideration at looking at a larger model of the same vintage to restore and sail until I croak.Hope you have found a good one.
