Spirit 28 finch
8 / 138 - score 79%
The Spirit 28 finch is a 28.0ft masthead sloop designed by Robert Finch/Earl Blackwell and built in fiberglass by Glastron (USA) between 1979 and 1981.
80 units have been built.
The Spirit 28 finch is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has a good score and ranks in the top quarter. It is an excellent choice.
