About the BI-LOUP 30
In 2018, the name was changed to the Wrighton 30. Hull Length: 8.9m / 29.2ft
The Bi-Loup 30 is a lightweight, performance-oriented cruising sloop designed by Richard Wrighton and built by Chantier Wrighton in France. Production was limited to the year 2007, with an unknown total hull count, resulting in a rare and specific market presence.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and day sailors who prioritize speed and ease of handling over heavy offshore protection, particularly those who value the ability to trailering or navigate shallow waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 6614.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.1, the Bi-Loup 30 is designed for coastal and inshore cruising rather than extended bluewater passages, relying on its twin/triple keel configuration for stability in moderate conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 30 and the J/30, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, light displacement characteristics, and a focus on responsive sailing performance rather than heavy bluewater cruising.
