Discovery 47
8 / 54 - score 58%
The Discovery 47 is a 47.0ft masthead sloop designed by Peter Hatfield and built in fiberglass since 1969.
The Discovery 47 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is an excellent water supply range.
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.
