Silhouette
11 / 65 - score 58%
The Silhouette is a 17.25ft masthead sloop designed by Robert Tucker and built in plywood or fiberglass by Hurley Marine Ltd. between 1954 and 1986.
2600 units have been built.
The Silhouette is a moderate weight sailboat which is a very high performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing 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.
