The Parker 325 The Parker 325 is no longer in production but support and spares are still available from Parker Lift Keel Yachts
In 1995 the Parker 325 was voted yacht of the Year by the RYA and BMIF Note - Parker 325s are now only available second hand as it is no longer built. It has been replaced by the 335HS (High Specification) (Click on Thumbprint to expand)
LOGICAL PROGRESSION The all new Parker 325 offers a logical extension to the Parker Lift Keel range, from the tip of its fractional rig, throughout its modern, elegant hull styling, down to the wings of its sophisticated keel. The enhanced stability generated by the lead wing keel deep below this performance cruiser contributes to its amazing versatility to provide comfort and stability in the toughest conditions. Practical design, hand in hand with advanced engineering, gives the helmsman instant electronic draft indicator display and finger tip control over the draft from 6 feet to 2 feet, so the 325 can cruise to any sheltered spot, drying out or otherwise. The 325 can dry out on the sands and sit safely her wing keel. As the tide returns, the touch of a button transforms her once more to a powerful sailing machine. The standard deck gear specification is based on equipment of the highest quality, as befits this new design. The twin spreader rig is equipped with the highest quality sails. With all controls, including reef lines, led to the cockpit for short-handed sailing via blocks of clutches to Lewmar self-tailing winches. The steering console includes standard navigation instrument display. The powerful rear section of the hull gives a large, spacious and yet comfortable cockpit with stylish, recessed teak panels throughout. Steering under sail or power is via a Whitlock wheel system and remains light and sensitive at all times. Engine power is delivered by Aquadrive, insulated, 18 h.p. Yanmar engine. The smoothness and quietness of the engine system adding greatly to comfort when forced to motor for extended periods. The logical conclusion - a new design which ha been produced to meet the yachtsman's demand for performance through quality. PARKER 325 SPACE SURPRISE The long waterline hull and interior design is truly like no other. With a light, airy
and well ventilated saloon starting with its easy access from the cockpit. The Parker
pedigree shows throughout, from the beautifully teak finished saloon to the pure
practicality of every aspect or the comfortable interior with 6'2'' headroom. The safety
features of handholds throughout, 'U' shaped galley with adequate support for 'hands free'
operation, Navigator's area with table big enough for folded Admiralty charts, wide settee
berths and lee cloths fitted as standard to convert to pilot hefts. The forward master's cabin with its walkabout area for changing in comfort, full sized double berth, hanging locker and extensive stowage has greater space than many larger yachts. The aft cabin has athwartship double berth with extensive locker space and aft stowage, which gives true privacy between the main saloon and fore cabin. The yacht's central toilet/shower room is arranged with access from the saloon or en-suite forward master cabin, including lots stowage, wet locker and standard hot water and shower system, to make real liveability afloat. In short, a yacht designed to be sailed in comfort.
