Fales 38 explorer
8 / 34 - score 51%
The Fales 38 explorer is a 38.0ft staysail ketch designed by Charles Street/Alden and built in fiberglass since 1978.
18 units have been built.
The Fales 38 explorer is a moderate weight sailboat which is under powered. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is average. There is a good 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.
