Niagara 31
11 / 57 - score 58%
The Niagara 31 is a 31.25ft masthead sloop designed by German Frers and built in fiberglass by Hinterhoeller Yachts Ltd. since 1977.
100 units have been built.
The Niagara 31 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser.
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.
