Able 20
7 / 30 - score 58%
The Able 20 is a 20.0ft masthead sloop designed by W. R. Loughlin and built in fiberglass since 1972.
The Able 20 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. There is a very short 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.
