Glacer 40
12 / 135 - score 57%
The Glacer 40 is a 40.19ft masthead sloop designed by Horst E. Glacer and built in aluminum or steel by many builders since 1983.
It accomodates 5 people in 2 cabins plus salon.
The Glacer 40 is a heavy sailboat which is 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 excellent. 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.
