Nauticat 52
12 / 7320 - score 37%
The Nauticat 52 is a 51.15ft masthead ketch designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by Nauticat - Siltala Yachts since 1981.
The Nauticat 52 is a very heavy sailboat which is under powered. 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.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoffs for this request.
