Mason 44
5 / 23 - score 52%
The Mason 44 is a 43.93ft masthead ketch designed by Al Mason/Jeff Leishman and built in fiberglass by Ta Shing Yacht Building Ltd. since 1985.
It accomodates 6 people in 2 cabins plus salon.
The Mason 44 is a heavy 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 good. 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.
