American 21
6 / 39 - score 59%
The American 21 is a 21.0ft masthead sloop designed by Ron Bertholf and built in fiberglass by American Fiberglass Corp. since 1973.
The American 21 is a light sailboat which is a good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-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.
