Joshua 40
4 / 17 - score 58%
The Joshua 40 is a 39.63ft masthead ketch designed by Jean Knocker and built in steel by META Yachts between 1962 and 1980.
70 units have been built.
It accomodates 6 people in 2 cabins plus salon.
The Joshua 40 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is average. 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.
