Bright star 39
12 / 53 - score 59%
The Bright star 39 is a 38.6ft masthead sloop designed by F. S. Ford Jr. and built in wood since 1966.
The Bright star 39 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising 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.
