The Ross 780 is a 25.58ft fractional sloop designed by Murray Ross and built in fiberglass since 1980.
70 units have been built.
The Ross 780 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 day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has a good score and ranks in the top quarter. It is an excellent choice.
