MERIT 25 ONE-DESIGN ASSOCIATION OF SAN FRANCISCO BAY
The Merit 25 is a multipurpose racer/cruiser that sacrifices very
little of the performance or aesthetics of the pure ultra-light
racer. The Merit 25 planes easily and is capable of high-speed
downwind surfing, yet has a comfortable cockpit and sensible
interior well suited to daysailing and local cruising. (The Merit
25 is believed to have the largest and most comfortable V-berth
of any production boat under 40 feet.)
In addition to the small but active one-design fleet, Merit 25s
have raced PHRF, MORA, MORC, and SSS with outstanding success.
Three Merit 25s have completed the Singlehanded Transpac race,
and two of them sailed the return leg on their own bottoms.
To find out more about the Merit 25, contact any of the Fleet
officers and arrange to participate in our next social event, or
to crew on one of the boats in an upcoming race.
