Essex 26
12 / 24 - score 49%
The Essex 26 is a 26.0ft masthead sloop designed by John Cherubini and built in fiberglass between 1972 and 1976.
The Essex 26 is a light sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
