Got a pair of them on ours, I think. Work fine, but may look a little tall on the S25. Then again, they may not.

the length for the S25 should be around 1.3m. no reason why it shoudln't work though.

Longer the better I always thought?
We have a 2.4m one on a 21' boat and it looks fine

Hope you did not pay to much for a white glass fibre tube with 6ft of very thin copper wire soldered to a 10p capacitor inside. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We got a 2.4M aerial, on a 28ft boat, looks great with my little flag on top!
The longer the better, its there to transmit radio signals not look good, please don't angle it back to try and look cool.
Reduces its effectivness and makes you look like a dick.

Oho. I thought mine was vertical but I now wonder if it is near enough to stop me looking like a dick? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If you want to look really ally, rake them forwards slightly like the lifeboats do. That way, when you're planing and slightly bow up, they'll be vertical and hence maximum efficiency.
