Merit 22
7 / 51 - score 52%
The Merit 22 is a 22.0ft masthead sloop designed by Paul Yates and built in fiberglass by Merit Marine Inc. since 1981.
600 units have been built.
The Merit 22 is a light sailboat which is a very high performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing boat.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
