Liberty 49
9 / 39 - score 58%
The Liberty 49 is a 48.75ft cutter designed by Stan Huntingford and built in fiberglass by Shing Fa Boatbuilding Co., Ltd. between 1985 and 1989.
13 units have been built.
The Liberty 49 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is excellent. There is an excellent 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.
