5 / 27 - score 59%

The Olson 40 is a 40.33ft masthead sloop designed by George Olson and built in fiberglass by Pacific Boat Works between 1982 and 1986.

30 units have been built.

The Olson 40 is an ultralight sailboat which is a very high performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing 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.
