Bristol 48.8
5 / 28 - score 57%
The Bristol 48.8 is a 49.0ft masthead sloop designed by Ted Hood and built in fiberglass by Bristol Yachts since 1989.
The Bristol 48.8 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy 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.
