Merit 25
9 / 87 - score 59%
The Merit 25 is a 24.5ft fractional sloop designed by Paul Yates and built in fiberglass by Merit Marine Inc. since 1978.
780 units have been built.
The Merit 25 is a light sailboat which is a 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.
