About the CICLON 85
The Ciclon 85 is a compact, performance-oriented cruiser designed by Michel Pocock and built by Ruiz Franquelo in Spain. Production was limited to a single year, 1982, with the exact number of hulls built remaining unconfirmed in available records.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, appealing to sailors who prioritize agility and ease of handling over heavy offshore endurance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 5181.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.25, the Ciclon 85 is primarily a coastal cruiser rather than a dedicated bluewater vessel, though its fin keel and masthead sloop rig offer competent offshore potential for short passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other late-1970s and early-1980s European 27-footers with similar displacement and fin keels, such as the Beneteau First 27 or O'Day 27, which share a focus on responsive sailing characteristics.
