  1. Anyone familiar with Montego 19 (weekender)?

    The O'day 22 is 2000 lbs and the Montego 19 is about 1450. I quite like O'day 22's and other 22's, but as the owner of a 19' boat I have to speak on their behalf. Length doesn't tell the whole story. Our 19' boat was originally designed for sailing in/around Britain, which can be gnarly. We use ours on the Great Lakes, which can also get gnarly ...

Many people prefer lead keel in favour of iron. The main argument is that lead is much heavier than iron and a lead keel can therefore be made smaller which again result in less wet ...

    It takes into consideration "reported" sail area, displacement and length at waterline. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat.
