Y flyer
5 / 21 - score 58%
The Y flyer is a 18.17ft fractional sloop designed by Alvin Youngquist and built in wood or fiberglass by Helms - Jack A. Helms Co. since 1941.
2770 units have been built.
The Y flyer is an ultralight sailboat which is a very high performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing 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.
