6 / 29 - score 57%
The Mercator 30 is a 30.0ft masthead sloop designed by Neil Parmentier and built in fiberglass since 1970.
38 units have been built.
The Mercator 30 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.
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.
