Calkins 50
2 / 5 - score 51%
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 half. It might be a good tradeoff.
