Tradewinds 55
6 / 24 - score 54%
The Tradewinds 55 is a 54.75ft cutter designed by Bruce King and built in fiberglass since 1980.
3 units have been built.
The Tradewinds 55 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. 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.
