Baba 40
10 / 32 - score 49%
The Baba 40 is a 39.83ft cutter designed by Robert Perry and built in fiberglass by Ta Shing Yacht Building Ltd. between 1980 and 1982.
115 units have been built.
The Baba 40 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is a good water supply range.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
