BOUGAINVILLAEA 62

About the BOUGAINVILLAEA 62

Water ballast: 5000 lbs.

The Bougainvillea 62 is a rare, large-displacement cruising yacht designed by Chuck Paine and built by Kanter Yachts in Canada. With only 4 hulls constructed in 1991, this model represents a limited production run of substantial, heavy-displacement vessels.

Best for:

This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers or those seeking a spacious, stable liveaboard platform, given its significant size and weight. It is less ideal for single-handers due to its dimensions and heavy displacement.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 47000.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.72, and a fin keel, the Bougainvillea 62 offers excellent stability and seaworthiness for offshore passages. Its heavy displacement and conservative design ratios suggest strong bluewater capability, though its specific offshore history is limited by the low production count.

Comparables:

Comparable vessels include other large, heavy-displacement trawler-style or full-keel cruisers from the late 1980s and early 1990s, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 53 or similar Chuck Paine designs. These boats share a focus on seaworthiness, comfort, and conservative hull forms over high-speed performance.
