Sonata 8
5 / 22 - score 50%
The Sonata 8 is a 26.25ft fractional sloop designed by Gary Mull and built in fiberglass since 1979.
The Sonata 8 is a light sailboat which is a very high performer. It is reasonably 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.
