Ct 56
2 / 8 - score 58%
The Ct 56 is a 55.5ft masthead ketch designed by Robert Perry and built in fiberglass by Ta Chiao (TAIWAN) since 1986.
The Ct 56 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy 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.
