The Taylor 40 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a high performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a fast cruiser.
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.
