Omega 42
11 / 51 - score 58%
The Omega 42 is a 41.99ft fractional sloop designed by Peter Norlin and built in fiberglass by Vindo (Nötesund Varv AB) between 1978 and 1998.
160 units have been built.
The Omega 42 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a 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.
