Bombay express 26
6 / 38 - score 56%
The Bombay express 26 is a 26.0ft fractional sloop designed by Walter H. Scott and built in fiberglass since 1978.
The Bombay express 26 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a short 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.
