Delta 46
7 / 28 - score 58%
The Delta 46 is a 45.8ft staysail ketch designed by Doug Peterson and built in fiberglass by Shing Fa Boatbuilding Co., Ltd. since 1981.
The Delta 46 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising 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.
