Block island 40
9 / 36 - score 57%
The Block island 40 is a 40.0ft masthead yawl designed by William Tripp Jr, and built in fiberglass by Metalmast Marine since 1957.
The Block island 40 is a very heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is reasonably 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.
