Defender 15
4 / 19 - score 59%
The Defender 15 is a 26.25ft masthead sloop designed by Jacques Gaubert / André Mauric and built in fiberglass by Dekker & Sons (Jachtwerf F. Dekker en Zonen) between 1969 and 1972.
The Defender 15 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.
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.
