8 / 43 - score 59%
The Morgan 28 is a 27.83ft masthead sloop designed by Charles Morgan and built in fiberglass by Morgan Yachts between 1969 and 1971.

The Morgan 28 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very 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.
