About the MARTINIQUE 25
Similar to CAL 2-25/CAL 25 MKII, built in Brazil.
The Martinique 25 is a compact, lightweight cruiser designed by C. William Lapworth and built by Mariner Construcoes Nauticas Ltda. in Brazil during 1979. With a hull count listed as ?, this vessel represents a specific era of small-boat design focused on simplicity and ease of handling.
- Best for:
- This boat suits single-handers or couples seeking a manageable, trailerable package for coastal cruising and weekend sailing. Its light displacement and modest dimensions make it ideal for those prioritizing ease of storage and launch over heavy offshore performance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 4500.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.18, the Martinique 25 is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages. Its light weight and fin keel design prioritize speed and handling in moderate conditions over heavy-weather stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other late-1970s 25-foot fin-keel sloops such as the Cal 25 or O'Day 25, which share similar LOA and masthead sloop configurations. These vessels are comparable due to their shared role as entry-level cruisers with similar beam and draft constraints.
