Kelt 8m
3 / 337 - score 95%
The Kelt 8m is a 26.25ft masthead sloop designed by Gilles Ollier and built in fiberglass by Kelt Marine between 1977 and 1984.
The Kelt 8m is a moderate weight sailboat which is a very high performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has a good score and ranks in the top quarter. It is an excellent choice.
