Liberty 28
3 / 14 - score 55%
The Liberty 28 is a 28.0ft cutter designed by Joe Fennell and built in fiberglass since 1978.
70 units have been built.
The Liberty 28 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 bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a 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.
