Skye 54
12 / 50 - score 58%
The Skye 54 is a 53.42ft masthead ketch designed by Kaufmann & Ladd and built in fiberglass by Mao Ta Shipyard (TAIWAN) since 1983.
The Skye 54 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent 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.
