From the 1950s Seamaster Ltd. was one of the
leading builders of GRP motorboats in the UK, and they later
expanded their range to include a series of sailing yachts,
using top designers including Laurent Giles and Holman &
Pye. Seamasters always had a good reputation for build quality.
Designed by Holman & Pye in 1972, the Seamaster 925
design was first introduced as the Seamaster 28 before being
slightly altered, and renamed the Seamaster 925, of which
137 were built.
The design was in many ways ahead of its time, giving more
interior space than most competing British yachts whilst retaining
Seamasters high build quality. A smaller version, the Seamaster 815, was introduced in 1975.
