6 / 24 - score 55%
The Helsen 20 is a 20.08ft masthead sloop designed by J. "Jopie" Helsen and built in fiberglass by Universal Marine Corp. (USA) since 1974.
The Helsen 20 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.
