About the BREEHORN 48
The Breehorn 48 is a modern cruising yacht designed by Simonis Voogd and built by Breehorn, with production records indicating a single build year of 2009. As the specific hull count is not definitively established in the source data, this vessel represents a rare, low-volume production from a specialized Dutch builder known for robust construction.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for serious coastal cruisers and short-to-medium range offshore passages who prioritize a comfortable, stable ride over high-speed performance. Its fractional sloop rig and moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio suggest it is designed for manageable handling by a small crew rather than single-handed racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 35274.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.75, the Breehorn 48 exhibits strong inherent stability and resistance to capsizing, making it well-suited for offshore passages. The high comfort ratio of 36.44 further indicates a hull form designed to provide a motion-dampened ride in heavy seas.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 43 and the Hallberg-Rassy 46, as they share similar European design philosophies emphasizing heavy displacement, fin keels, and robust construction for safe cruising. The Breehorn 48 also aligns with the Najad 440 in terms of its focus on comfort and seaworthiness over pure speed.
