Vagabond 42
12 / 63 - score 59%
The Vagabond 42 is a 41.99ft staysail ketch designed by George H. Stadel III and built in fiberglass by Blue Water Yacht Builders Ltd. (TAIWAN) between 1978 and 1990.
It accomodates 5 people in 2 cabins plus salon.
The Vagabond 42 is a heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is a good water supply range.
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.
