North star 48
10 / 43 - score 59%
The North star 48 is a 48.17ft masthead yawl designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by Hughes Boat Works since 1970.
The North star 48 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy 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.
