Jag 25 Mk1 vs Mk2

[wooslehunter]

Hi All,

I've heard the Mk1 suffered from lee helm and a badly balanced rudder.

Apart from differences in the rig, are there any easy ways to tell a Mk1 from a Mk2? When were the Mk2s introduced?

Anyone had any bad experiences with a Jag 25?

Thanks
Dave

Have you seen the one at Global Yachts at Hamble point Marina?
Basically sound, a bit tatty (needs TLC), but price reflects this.

Our previous boat was a twin-keeled Jag 25 called EQUINOXE. All the problems we had with it were associated with the Volvo (MD2B I think). It was reputed to be a Mark 1 as the Mark 2 had a slightly different layout to the dinette. However, next door on our Hamble mooring was another fin-keeled Jag called REWARD. This must have been a very old one as it's cabin roof was 2" lower than ours. It also had a rebuilt rudder with some balance to it suggesting heavy helm but we had the standard lifting rudder which was fine. We liked ours a lot (apart from the pesky engine!) PM if I can be of any further help...
