Calkins 50

6 / 25 - score 52%

The Calkins 50 is a 50.0ft masthead sloop designed by Wendell H. Calkins and built in wood strip planked mahogany since 1960.

The Calkins 50 is a light sailboat which is a good performer. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is excellent. There is an excellent water supply range.

This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
