Samurai 28
10 / 33 - score 59%
The Samurai 28 is a 28.0ft masthead ketch designed by L. Francis Herreshoff/Eldredge-McGinnis and built in wood since 1958.
120 units have been built.
The Samurai 28 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
