Passing on the Passion of Sailing
If you are looking for a fun way to enjoy sailing and racing, the Merit 25 is a multipurpose
racer/cruiser that sacrifices very little of the performance or aesthetics of the pure ultralight racer.
A large comfortable cockpit and high ballast to displacement
ratio make it a confident and stable
day sailor with a functional interior
that invites weekend cruising.

PHRF-NW rating of 185, these
sleek fiberglass racers have a low-wetted surface, high
aspect fin keel & rudder, 15/16 fractional rig and are
built to perform for competitive one-design racing.
