Alpha 48
12 / 26 - 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 half. It might be a good tradeoff.
