Queen bee 28
6 / 13 - score 55%
The Queen bee 28 is a 27.25ft masthead sloop designed by A. K. Balfour and built in wood carvel since 1955.
The Queen bee 28 is a very heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is reasonably 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 half. It might be a good tradeoff.
