Ohlson 38
22 / 88 - score 54%
The Ohlson 38 is a 37.07ft masthead sloop designed by Einar Ohlson and built in fiberglass by Tyler Boat Co. Ltd. (UK) between 1969 and 1980.
129 units have been built.
It accomodates 5 people in 2 cabins plus salon.
The Ohlson 38 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. The fuel capacity is originally 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.
