About the BIANCA 111
Available with fractional or masthead rig (mast moved aft).
The Bianca 111 is a 36.5 ft fractional sloop designed by Elvstrøm & Kjærulff and built by Bianca (DEN) in 1975. With a displacement of 13420.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 27.81, this vessel offers a stable, moderate-performance cruising platform, though the exact number of hulls built remains unconfirmed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize ease of handling and comfort over high-speed performance, benefiting from its fractional sloop rig and manageable dimensions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.77 and a D/L ratio of 204.25, the Bianca 111 possesses adequate stability for coastal passages, but its relatively light displacement and fin keel suggest it is better suited for protected waters than heavy offshore bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other mid-1970s European fractional sloop cruisers of similar length, such as the Beneteau First 36 or O'Day 36, which share similar displacement ranges and cruising-oriented hull forms.
