Dansa is a Sadler 25.

The Sadler story started in 1969 with David Sadler designing and building the Contessa 26, with Jeremy Rogers. This was an evolution of the successful Folkboat design.

Following the success of the Contessa 26 and 32, David set up with his son Martin a small boat building operation in 1974, and their first boat was the Sadler 25. The 25 quickly became popular as a club racing boat and had many successes in longer races such as Round Britain and Transatlantic. This was a tough boat for seagoing, had the latest fin keel and skeg configuration, was robustly constructed and provided a safe, small family cruiser with wide appeal. Some 300 were built between 1974 and 1981. The later MkII boats, of which Dansa is one, built in the last two years were generally better constructed. These later boats had a well laid out interior, with GRP sub-mouldings and a slightly taller rig, which made the yacht even more competitive.
