The Montego 25 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Johannes "Jopie" Helsen as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1980.[1][2][3]
The design was built by Universal Marine in St. Petersburg, Florida, United States from 1980 until 1985, with 80 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]
Design
The Montego 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fin keel or optional shoal draft keel. It displaces 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) and carries 1,800 lb (816 kg) of iron ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the standard keel and 3.50 ft (1.07 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 4 to 10 hp (3 to 7 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, although a Japanese Yanmar 1GM inboard diesel engine was a factory option.[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides, at the companionway. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove to port and sink and icebox to starboard. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin. Cabin headroom is 71 in (180 cm).[1][3]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 216 and a hull speed of 6.1 kn (11.3 km/h).[3]
