Dickerson 40
11 / 32 - score 53%
The Dickerson 40 is a 40.0ft masthead ketch designed by Ernest Tucker and built in wood strip planking by Dickerson Boatbuilders (USA) between 1968 and 1974.
The Dickerson 40 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
