Kingfisher 26
4 / 47 - score 70%
The Kingfisher 26 is a 26.0ft masthead sloop designed by R. A. G. Nierop and built in fiberglass by Westfield Engineering Co. (Marine) Ltd. since 1972.
The Kingfisher 26 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has a reasonable score and ranks in the top quarter. It is a good choice.
