Samurai 28
6 / 28 - 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 quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
