Blue moon 23
3 / 12 - score 58%
The Blue moon 23 is a 23.0ft gaff-yawl designed by Thomas Gillmer and built in wood since 1943.
The Blue moon 23 is a very heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is 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.
