Cavalier 28
9 / 41 - score 55%
The Cavalier 28 is a 28.0ft masthead sloop designed by Laurie Davidson and built in fiberglass by Cavalier Yachts (AUSTRALIA) since 1975.
100 units have been built.
The Cavalier 28 is a moderate weight sailboat which is under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser.
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.
