3 / 7 - score 47%
The Gulf coast 18 is a 18.0ft fractional sloop designed by Martin Bludworth and built in fiberglass by Gulf Coast Sailboats between 1970 and 1978.
The Gulf coast 18 is a light sailboat which is a very high performer. It is 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.
