Irwin 52
4 / 16 - score 56%
The Irwin 52 is a 52.0ft staysail ketch designed by Ted Irwin and built in fiberglass by Irwin Yachts between 1976 and 1985.
250 units have been built.
The Irwin 52 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly 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 quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
