Glacer 55
10 / 20 - score 51%
The Glacer 55 is a 55.18ft masthead sloop designed by Horst E. Glacer and built in aluminum or steel by many builders since 1985.
It accomodates 7 people in 3 cabins plus salon.
The Glacer 55 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / 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 half. It might be a good tradeoff.
