Alpa a15
4 / 11 - score 57%
The Alpa a15 is a 48.23ft masthead yawl designed by Anselmi Boretti/Illingsworth and built in fiberglass by Alpa Yachts (ITA) between 1962 and 1967.
7 units have been built.
It accomodates 6 people in 3 cabins plus salon.
The Alpa a15 is a very heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. 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.
