Notes: S&S design #1235. \nOriginally promoted as the NEW HORIZONS 25.\nThis was S&S's first production sailboat designed as an ALL fiberglass small cruiser.\nRay Greene, a pioneer in the field, as the builder, made a perfect fit.\nMany of the components for the interior, etc, were molded fiberglass, a practice that did not become common for a number of years to come.
