Wellington 47
4 / 2577 - score 54%
The Wellington 47 is a 46.92ft cutter designed by John G. Alden Inc. and built in fiberglass by Wellington Boats Inc. between 1969 and 1980.
24 units have been built.
The Wellington 47 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is excellent. There is an excellent 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.
