Idle duck
5 / 14 - score 57%
The Idle duck is a 34.0ft cutter designed by Maurice Griffiths and built in wood since 1962.
The Idle duck is a 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.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
