About the BI-LOUP 36
Hull length: 10.9m An upgraded version became the BI-LOUP 109 in 2016 of which 3 were built. See also the WRIGHTON 36
The Bi-Loup 36 is a French-built cruising sloop designed by Vincent Lebailly and constructed by Chantier Wrighton between 2006 and 2016. While the exact total production count remains unverified in available data, the vessel is characterized by its fractional sloop rig and twin/triple keel configuration.
- Best for:
- This boat is well-suited for coastal cruisers and those prioritizing shallow-draft access, given its maximum draft of 4.43 ft and moderate displacement of 13448.0 lb. Its comfort ratio of 24.5 suggests a stable ride suitable for extended weekend trips or liveaboard use in protected waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.93 and a displacement/length ratio of 192.08, the Bi-Loup 36 offers reasonable stability for coastal passages, though its relatively light displacement and specific keel configuration suggest it is best reserved for protected offshore cruising rather than extreme bluewater expeditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other French production cruisers from the mid-2000s, such as the Beneteau First 36 or Dufour 36, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and beam dimensions around 11.48 ft. These boats offer similar performance profiles with a focus on ease of handling and interior volume.
