Liberty 38
4 / 21 - score 58%
The Liberty 38 is a 38.0ft cutter designed by Joe Fennell and built in fiberglass between 1983 and 1985.
6 units have been built.
The Liberty 38 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. 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 good. There is a good 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.
