Hughes 40
10 / 42 - score 58%
The Hughes 40 is a 40.0ft masthead ketch designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by Hughes Boat Works since 1975.
The Hughes 40 is a very heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy 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.
