Alpha 48

3 / 19 - score 47%

The Alpha 48 is a 48.0ft masthead ketch built in fiberglass since 1980.

The Alpha 48 is a 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 excellent. There is an excellent water supply range.

Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoffs for this request.
